I am not convinced this is the right place to report this (sorry @lubomir).
Basically this situation is "works as designed". The mirror mirror.vutbr.cz uses (as recommended) _reportmirror to update their status in the MirrorManager database. _reportmirror only transfers a list of directories which are supposed to be up to date. The actual content of the directories is never submitted via _reportmirror. If I remember it correctly the reason behind this is that the amount of data would be rather large if the directory content is also submitted. So, mirrors which are using _reportmirror are working on a trust basis that they actually have the content they claim. This seems to work most of the time.
The correct fix probably requires a re-evaluation of how _reportmirror should work. We need if for private mirrors and if private mirrors submit the wrong content via _reportmirror it only affects clients from that institution. For public mirrors it is a great help to make updated mirrors faster available to all clients, but is also can lead to mirrors marked as up to date, which actually do not have the content.
I encountered this on 2016-05-16:
I tried again a couple times and ultimately it sent me to a different mirror which worked fine.

Originally I opened the issue in Fedora Infrastructure trac and was sent here.
