Maybe your mirrors haven't synced recently.  You can see when they last did here:

Re: [SOLVED] Missing Mirror? [pacman -Syu]

Also having more than 3 mirrors helps you too. I tend to keep all US mirrors and also a few Canadian ones. Just rank them according to speed using the rankmirrors and you should be good.

I have found its always best to have a university (.edu) mirror as your preferred one, since they normally don't close down on you. Also the univ linux admins probably are enthusiastic and have too much time on their hands to keep the mirrors updated frequently. Not to say that other commercial company mirrors aren't.

Also most times I find that each time I run rankmirrors, I always find different results.
