I saw the same "mismatch" today:

I grepped "Failed Delta RPMs" in all the dnf logs on my system and this is the only instance.

TLDR; seeing it too, but don't know the cause.
I've started seeing this recently as well. In the same update that
contains the error though, many other drpms will rebuild just fine.
So, my guess is that the local version is somehow different from the
version the drpm was created against, so when it rebuilds, the md5 is
different. That is, I don't think it is a bug in either the repo or
the drpm builder. But the fact that it only started happening recently
argues against that opinion.
