You can 'yum clean all' to clear the cache.
I get the same error as you do on occasion. Rerunning yum sometimes
clears it up.
Most likely because the next time you run yum, it picks a different
mirror site which does not suffer from this problem. I too have seen it
happen, and I'm also running yum-2.2.2.0-fc3 as well. Seems to be
specific to certain mirror sites.
