To be clear, the mirror system is - intentionally - not deterministic
(in most cases); each time you hit the metalink URL it will give you a
slightly different list of mirrors (usually the same handful of mirrors
in your geographic area, but in a different order). You can see this
easily by just opening e.g. this URL:

https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-rawhide&arch=x86_64

in a browser and refreshing it a few times. You'll see different
mirrors from me, for a start - I get North American ones - but each
time you refresh the page, the order will change.

This is done to ensure that load is spread around between mirrors. So
you probably simply got a different server the second time you ran 'dnf
--refresh update' compared to the first.
