If you can try to do this change in squid.conf:

Put this line:

refresh_pattern    /XMLRPC/GET-REQ/.*/repodata/.*\.xml.*$ 0 1% 525960

just before this line:

refresh_pattern     .       0   100%    525960


This should say that repodata should not be validate for aprox. max 14 
minutes (if you sat-sync every day -> repodata change every day and you 
dowload repodata shortly before you regenerate them). After this time 
the file is validated on parent by 304.

If you can test this setting and report back, then it will help me a lot.
