Here is what I have done:

Install httpd  on your server.

create in /var/www/html/ a symlink named "updates-released" pointing to:

/var/cache/yum/updates-released/

Every time you update your server, run:

createrepo /var/www/html/updates-released/

On every client add a line in /etc/yum.repo.d/fedora-update-released.repo:

baseurl=http://myserver.mydomain/updates-released

And you're done.
