Hi
I use the following method to achieve this - there may
be a better method

I have a local-20-update repo which I populate with "update" rpms
and then run createrepo

When I run yum, the "cost=1" setting forces this repo to be used first
If an rpm or dependency is required that is not available locally
it will be down loaded from the "normal" remote repo

Each of my machines are set to pick up "updates" locally if possible

ja at paxos yum.repos.d 4$ cat local-20-update.repo
[local-20-update]
name=Local Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
cost=1
baseurl=file:///global/local_repos/20/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

PS
I also have a script that picks up "updates" 
and hence only one download is required for several machines
