that's strange. It should be

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/i386/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml and not
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

It looks like your arch (i386 or x86_64) was not detected at all ???

Can you please post your /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo file?
and your yum version: rpm -q yum


Normally in /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo there is a line

baseurl=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/$basearch/SL/RPMS/

yum should set $basearch=i386 ending up with

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/i386/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

and not with

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/SL/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml

Other people have seen the same problem, unfortunately I don't have a SL44 system.
