If one completes, the next one can start, so it's always 5 in parallel. And then if it's finished, it will be transferred to the storage by one of the following stages.

It happened as pulp2 used to download the data in batches of 5 but it never moved the data to their destination until the entire repository was downloaded in pulp cache.

That means on synching a remote repository (regardless of it's type) there is a pipeline with so called stages. The first stage is supposed to fetch metadata and enumerate content units (blobs, manifests, rpms, files, ...) and pass them into the pipeline. The other stages that run in parallel will each perform one of downloading artifacts, saving them, assemble content units, saving them, adding them to the new repository version.</div><div>Since those stages use python async and asyncio this means, there will be 5 parallel downloads (as long as enough requests flow by that stage).
