In addition, there is a yum plugin that may serve the same function:
yum-plugin-local
When this plugin is installed it will automatically copy all downloaded packages to a repository on the local file system, and (re)build that repository. This means that anything you've downloaded will always exist, even if the original repo removes it (and can thus. be reinstalled/downgraded/etc.).
Have just installed it.
