# copy all yum headers etc to mnt so dont have to dload 
# them again (remember the 1st time)
cp /var/cahe/yum /mnt/mntyum

# mount the new mount ontop of /var/cahe/yum this 
# doesnt loose the old info just creates a virtual dir on top
mount -o loop /mnt/mntyum /var/cahe/yum

That should do the trick.
