# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

Save the file and see if this fixes it.
If not, some device on your network is blocking the server from updating.
Take a look at the /etc/yum.conf on your XI server. Maybe there are some settings in it that could help.
Be sure to check out our Knowledgebase for helpful articles and solutions!
Oh the s was added by me after the http links failed. Both ways don't work. I also already checked etc/yum.conf on XI and it's identical to the NNA file, that's why this is so maddeningly confusing.

Results are similar with the other command as well. I did this while running a tail -f on our syslog server as well and nothing pops up for this server so it's not being blocked by our firewall's ACL.
