What I do is mirror the updates repository and configure yum to use my
local copy of updates. It sounds like you probably want to do some other
stuff in there, but you might be able to use that as a starting point
for what you are trying to do.

You should note that stuff gets removed from the updates repository from
time to time. So this will only get you the most current updates (and a
few older ones), not all of the updates that were ever released. I doubt
you want the obsolete updates in any case.
