No, the problem you're trying to solve asks for a different approach.
Think about it a little bit. A Fedora x86_64 installation by default
does not have access to the i686 repositories, only the x86_64 repos
which contain a few i686 packages only. And one installation doesn't
"know" which packages you need for the other installation.

If your "fast host" is really fast, it could be convenient enough to
mirror _any_ remote updates repo you need with a tool of your choice.
Be it reposync, rsync, lftp, wget, curl, whatever you are familiar with.
Transfer the mirrored repo to the target machine and make it available
there, either temporarily or as some local enabled-by-default repo which
you would update with your mirrored packages.
