Am seeing same Warning, believe for a several days.
Other computer here has been showing same Warning.
Removed then Added the repository again, to see if fixed, no change.

Loading repository data...
**Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update-Non-OSS' appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.**
Reading installed packages...
---DELETED---
I occasionally saw that message with 13.1 (or maybe it was a different release). But then a flash update would show up, which updated the timestamps that I assume are being checked. And the problem went away.
Now that flash is coming from “packman”, that isn’t going to happen. So I guess the message will stay there unless somebody manually updates the metadata or something.
In any case, I doubt that there is a reason for concern.
In Yast Software Management, select the “Repostories” view. Then click on that repo.
Looking at the non-oss-update repo here, there are only 4 packages and I have none of them installed. But I do have a few (5) packages from the standard (non-update) non-oss repo, and updates to those would go in the non-oss-update repo. So I’ll keep the repo there and ignore the “out of date” messages.
I am getting the same warning for that repo. When i do ‘zypper ref’ i get: Repository ‘openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update-Non-Oss’ is up to date. . Soon after i do ‘zypper info somepackagename’ or ‘zypper packages --orphaned’ i get that warning
Warning: Repository ‘openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update-Non-Oss’ appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
So what the problem with this repo ?
I haven’t tried changing mirror manually yet, but here’s the mirror list if you want to try - http://mirrors.opensuse.org/list/42.1.html
just to confirm from the maintenance team that there is in fact nothing wrong with this particular repository, we are aware (boo#968559) and changing the mirrors does not help.
We simply have not released update to the non-OSS part of the distribution in a while. There is an updatepending which will correct the situation in a very short time, and the problem will go away for now. Beyond that it is only a warning pointing to a potential problem which in this case is a false alarm and nothing to worry about.
Going forward, when using download.opensuse.org you can always be sure that the repository metadata is current, as it is always served from the main server instead of from a mirror. You can read about the openSUSE mirror infrastructure as well as MirrorBrain if you want to know how this works in the background.

I remember this happening on an earlier version as well and it turned
out to be the repo hadn’t needed rebuilding for some time and zypper has
a setting to report a repo as out of date after a set amount of time.

I’ll note that this is now fixed (until it happens again).
The fix appears to have been to push a pending update for “opera”.
Since the repo isn’t used for much, this may happen again. Just remember that it isn’t a concern. At least for “zypper” and “yast” it only results in a harmless warning message. If it actually interferes with some other update applet, then that’s probably an unintended bug.
