The archive meta-data can be updated automatically even if the actual
updates are not installed.

This does not work, for two reasons: “>>” is evaluated before the sudo
privilege escalation, and Fedora will not use the host names you
listed.  This means that adding them /etc/hosts will not block their
use.

You need to look at the network traffic with Wireshark and figure out
what the original host names are (“sudo tcpdump -i any -s 0 -v port
53” would work as well). This will also tell you what is actually
going on.
