Issue #2027

remove_missing option does not work unless repository is updated
Description
The remove_missing yum_importer option seems to not actually remove anything unless some repo is added to the upstream repository.
I was able to reproduce easy enough by:
1) generate an empty repository:
mkdir /var/www/html/foo
createrepo /var/www/html/foo
2) Create a repo with remove_missing set to true, pointed to some repo with content (https://jlsherrill.fedorapeople.org/fake-repos/needed-errata/)
3) Sync the repo
4) change the feed url to point to your empty repo. This simulates rpms being removed from the upstream repo (Sync you just created the empty repo the revision should be newer than the first repo)
5) sync the repo
I'd expect all rpms to be removed from the repo but they are not.

Note this was reported by a katello user who was confused why the behavior seemed inconsistent (they were turning remove_missing on and re-syncing).
