it looks like you've goit some repo enabled that enables a bunch of German
repos. Looking at the epel mirror list it may be epel that is the culprit.

I find that I often get a long long string of epel mirror errors when 
I first run a yum command, but if, after it errors out, I run it again,
then heck, it works fine. have you tried rerunning the yum command?

I've never bothered to report the problem to epel because it is easy
to work around (and I'm lazy), but if you can't get around it, you
may wish to file a report.

Good luck!

Fred

The problem is that you have a security setting turned on which is looking
for a GPG signature that EPEL doesn't have.

http://smoogespace.blogspot.com/2018/04/epel-security-profiles-in-el7-can-cause.html

The reason for the lack of GPG signatures on the repository metadata is due
to the fact that EPEL uses metalink which contains the signatures in the
xml delivered. Whether or not that meets various security requirements ends
up being something outside of my paygrade.
