We don't have anything like that off hand that I know of. 

Mirrors that don't check in as being up to date, or fail a crawler test
from mirrormanager are simply removed from the mirrorlists as stale.

That is indeed suprising to me as dl.fedoraproject.org is our master
mirrors. ;) All the tier1 mirrors sync from it. 

What were you seeing more up to date on kernel.org?

This could happen. If we get too many people hitting master mirrors we
may have to limit the numbers we answer, etc. 

You could also try the yum-fastestmirror plugin, but it's a bit
simplistic.
