I do believe it is indeed the same problem. I believe the mirror content
is correct and faithfully reproduces the content of the JPackage origin.

The error is in the JPackage origin that has errors in its repository
meta data files - the checksum file does not match the content of the
meta data file. This happens from time to time an YUM repositories and
the solution is simply to regenerate the the repodata directory. 

On the repositories I maintain at work we have a cron job that regularly
regenerates the repodata if there are any issues.
