I tend to run yum around the time the data gets pushed to the mirrors, in this way if I come early I won't get updates for a day or so. What /really/ annoys me is when yum gets old metadata from a repository, I think it should look for some timestamp and compare with what it's got locally, and just try the next mirror if the metadata is stale. And since I'm in wish-mode anyway, why not adding an option to install what can be installed when there are broken dependencies? The data is certainly available...
