If its only the overnight cron you get it from, it may be good enough to
modify /etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate and add "yum clean all" to PRERUN.

I note that I only ever get these from 7.x systems. 6.x doesn't seem to
throw this at all.

I have seen it on my SL6 home machine occasionally.

As others say, yum clean seems to help.
