System version: NethServer release 7.7.1908 (final)
Kernel release: 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64

Regards,
Today I was trying to update our server, but after many retries to refresh the update, I try from console an see a lot of timeouts in some mirror.

So, I wonder where I can ‘delete’ the offending mirror:

yum update

…Waiting for yum update to end

As you found out that mirror is having problems and is not in sync at the moment ( http://mirror-status.nethserver.org/ ).

You can remove /var/cache/yum/x86_64/7/timedhosts.txt for fastestmirror yum plugin to check speed of mirrors and regenerate the file. In case it does not work you can exclude a specific mirror adding it to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf (exclude=ns-mirror3.ibi.net.br).

Or if it is a temporary measure, you disable fastestmirror plugin at runtime with:

yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror update

Is the server behind a proxy?
You can try with:

yum --setopt=http_caching=none update

Thank you @dnutan !
The server is behind a fortigate, but not as proxy, strange, anyway I need to mix both instructions, successfully:

EDIT: even I write an erroneous parameter it works, I suppose the correct one is this:
yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror --setopt=http_caching=none update

yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror --setopt=none update
