Generally speaking, there's nothing much Cygwin can do about mirrors. However, there is a "check-mirrors" script that runs every night. It checks a list of "putative mirrors" and those that are out of date don't make it to the "verified" mirrors list, which you can read at <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html>, and which is checked by setup.exe when you run it. If mirrors are *very* out of date, but still make it to the verified list, there might be a problem with the check-mirrors script. I don't think check-mirrors is so strict that it will de-list mirrors which are just a couple of days behind. You just have to hunt around to find one that works well for you, if you need the very latest packages.
