man yum.conf

       failovermethod
              can  be  either ’roundrobin’ or ’priority’.  roundrobin
              randomly selects a url out of the list of urls to start with
              and proceeds through  each  of them as it encounters a 
              failure contacting the host. priority starts from the first
              baseurl listed and reads  through them sequentially.
              failovermethod defaults to roundrobin if not specified.
