Scope the staleness check to the live feeds

opd_archive is closed years ending 2021-12-31, so it is permanently
"stale" and failed the pull job on every run — the check still
excluded the old name, opd_csv. The archive published before the check
ran, so nothing was lost, but the site job was skipped.

Switched from an exclusion to an allowlist of the three live feeds:
adding another backfill source can no longer turn this into a standing
failure.
