If you want to maintain your own repo with rpms, all you have to do is ...

mkdir /opt/foo
cp <lots of rpms> /opt/foo
cobbler repo add --name=foo-name --mirror=/opt/foo
(this actually uses rsync, so if you have another box in your org, with 
a directory full of RPMs, you can pass in --mirror=user at server:/opt/foo)

And it will take care of calling createrepo and making sure the repo 
config files are all created correctly.

I'd recommend doing that rather than trying to add an RPM to an existing 
mirrored repo, as that will make it clearer what comes from where and 
you can enable/disable individual repos as needed.
