I wonder if this is a caching issue. Our CDN does cache data from the actual webserver and latest is a symlink we do change. I suspect the cache isn't purged properly when we do.
Personally I'd recommend avoiding it by specifying the exact version. In https://community.theforeman.org/t/drop-stable-link-in-deb-repos/9960 we decided to drop the similar "stable" version for debs. Perhaps it's time to do the same for RPMs.
