My rule of thumb is that magic delays are evil or stupid, so I worked on eliminating them from our scripts. However, in this case it's just not worth it, because the result is that we have to wait way more than 100s for several cycles of CLD timeouts to complete, not just one, before we declare a failure. With this patch, all builds completed that I submitted to Fedora build system.
