I have been going with this error for the past couple of days. When I do a "yum update" or basically any "yum" command, it is timing out and taking a real long time or basically stop it. I went everyone on Google to find solutions and none of them were any help. Here is my set-up:
VMware ESXI 6.5 Host
It's a CentOS 7 virtual machine
Running on OVH network.
Here is what it's giving me when I do a yum update…

Help would be appreciated.

Looks to be a IPv6 connection issue (add ip_resolve=ipv4 to /etc/yum.conf to force only IPv4). Of that doesn't work it may be the gpg key validation failing. Give the IPv4 option a try.
