What problem does this PR solve?:
Once we add a repo to the yum cache, we need to update the yum caches so that the packages from the repo can be downloaded.
when we install ansible packages we do use
update_cache: yesoption. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/yum_module.html#parameter-update_cachehowever it will clean the cache only if it is expired. So the new packages are not getting downloaded automatically even after ansible invokes update cache.
This PR forces yum to clean all yum caches including repo mirror list so that package list can be refreshed automatically.
