(I assume that this is different than the normal repository metadata.) I think starting this at some point during the initial-setup process or during the gnome-software first startup is fine is fine ; I've seen many other application stores that have this behavior where the first run is slower than subsequent runs. It could even be messaged in the UI - have it start a tour of gnome-software on first run that shows the user how the interface works & so on, as a distraction while the data is downloading.
