That's HTML. Most likely you got a webserver's 404 message, or some
other error message, when it tried to access a repo (e.g. a forbidden
error, from a repo taking itself off line during its own updating; or
some other errors for a repo that no longer works).
Nothing to worry about, unless it continually errors instead of working.
I wouldn't do a "yum clean all" as otherwise advised, as that throws
away everything that you've downloaded, files and headers, and they'll
need to be fetched again (wasting your time and bandwidth).
Doing a "yum clean metadata" *might* help if you kept on getting errors,
but if it recovers by itself (because the mirrors have finished updating
themselves) in the meantime, you don't need to do anything.
