tl;dr run: yum makecache fast

 You probably want to read the documentation for the new
config. option metadata_expire_filter ... which you are probably
hitting. Basically most people when running simple read-only
commands like "list", much prefer "fast" over "very accurate, but
sometimes can hit the network and be much slower".
 You can change this config. to "never", if you prefer the old
behaviour.
