The mirror you're using is out of sync.  Which, I believe, refers to the
meta data about what it can provide compared with the packages that it
has.

Anyway, the problem is at their end.  All you can do is try another
mirror, or erase your cached meta data (yum clean metadata) and try
again.  Although your retry might strike the same problem.  It's a
common problem.

I think the mirror system needs some improvement so that meta data is
the *last* thing that they update in the mirrors.
