Syncs of RPM Repositories are downloading every artifact every time in 3.16

Problem:
Syncs are resulting in the full download of every package to the “pulp_storage/tmp” folder but then making zero or only a few actual updates to the repository.

Expected outcome:
Remote metadata is parsed for a diff of packages and only the packages new or changed are downloaded and then sync’d. Packages with a a hash matching an existing artifact should not be downloaded.

3.16

Pulp plugins installed and their versions:
