CentOS - Apr 2023 - tzdata 2022g package was rebuilt ?

Previously the packages were built 6 Dec 2022 published 13 Dec 2022.

Now the download packages are rebuilt 30 Mar 2023 published 03 Apr 2023.

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updates/x86_64/Packages/tzdata-2022g-1.el7.noarch.rpm
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updates/x86_64/Packages/tzdata-java-2022g-1.el7.noarch.rpm

Why would a previously published package be re-published with different build ?

The content seems to be the same, but the metadata (checksum and size) are
different.

Only reason I ask is that the metadata change broke our local mirror caching on
artifactory.

I was a bug in the building script .. somehow we should have gotten the 
newer tzdata-2023c-1.el7 built, instead we rebuilt the previous release. 
  The new tzdata has since been released.
