Good morning,
yesterday I did some further tests to see, why the problem occurs.

It seems to me, that the problem occurs, if a product with multiple large repositories is generated and is initially synced in parallel (complete product sync).

Commands to create an example product, which contains the two repositories that contain some identical packages ("OL 7 - Latest" and "OL 7 - Optional Latest"):

hammer product create --organization "<organization name>" --name "Oracle Linux"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 6 - Latest" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 6 - Addons" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 7 - Latest" --content-type "yum" --url "https://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/latest/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 7 - Optional Latest" --content-type "yum" --url "https://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/optional/latest/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 7 - Addons" --content-type "yum" --url "https://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/addons/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 7 - Software Collection" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/SoftwareCollections/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 8 - AppStream Latest" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/appstream/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 8 - Addons" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/addons/x86_64/"
hammer repository create --organization "<organization name>" --product "Oracle Linux" --name "OL 8 - BaseOS Latest" --content-type "yum" --url "https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/baseos/latest/x86_64/"

Sync the complete product, so that all repositories are synced at the same time.
This seems to lead to the error situation.

Perhaps this is a timing issue when a proxy is used (which slows down the downloads a bit).

Yesterday I deleted in my system both repositories ("OL 7 - Latest" and "OL 7 - Optional Latest"), removed all orphaned content and recreated the two repositories.
After that, I synced the Repos one after the other (the first one yesterday in the evening, the second one today in the morning)
In this case, the error did not occur anymore.

Kind Regards
Carsten

As this issue was a temporary problem and could be caused by a timing issue during the initial sync, I don't think, that this is a general bug anymore.
As I now know how to avoid the problem, you can close the bug (either as resolved or as rejected).

I think this is a pulp3 bug still worth investigating. I filed: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7828
