I can't conceive of a situation where usage of http or ftp protocol would interact to "smack" an imap connection.
To me, based on your observations, I'm getting the feeling you may have a strange network problem that may be local to you or within your ISP close to you. As I said, I'd be dragging out wireshark.
It's not FastestMirror, it's the mirror it's choosing to use. If he figures out which one, he can blacklist it.
That is what the case was in my situation although maybe I didn't spell it out. However, I did say that Singapore was causing an issue for me and I added the line "exclude=.gov, .sg" to my fastestmirror.conf.
But, when he says that his IMAP connection is *also* being affected then I can't conjure a situation where yum would have an impact on IMAP.
