I've had this where taskomatic hasn't run to rebuild the yum metadata.
Restarting taskomatic seems to fix it.

Also, yum does cache its metadata for a set period before downloading it
again. I've found that I have to frequently do a "yum clean all" before
I deploy new packages to clients, particularly for my custom channels.

Mark.
