It seems impossible to avoid this situation completely since you'll always
get a file list at one point in time, and finish syncing at a later point
in time.  During that period, if a file is deleted, rsync will complain.
If that thought process is wrong, please correct me, my rsync-foo is good
but not expert.

It also seems that it's happening way too often on the Fedora mirror
though.  I'm digging into it more now.
