Johan,
You're describing a local repository, possibly a complete mirror. If you
examine the directory structure of the Fedora 14 updates repository,
you'll see it's quite straightforward:
SRPMS/ <-- src.rpm packages
repodata/ <-- compressed metadata files
i386/ <-- 32-bit i686 and noarch packages
drpms/ <-- x-y.drpm delta rpm packages
repodata/
x86_64/ <-- 32-bit i686, noarch, 64-bit x86_64 rpms
drpms/
repodata/
In a full repo, you may find the same i686 and noarch packages in both
i386/ and x86_64/ directories. They should be hard linked.
You can use rsync to keep a local repo updated from a mirror site. With
modified .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ that point to the local repo,
yum updates can be very fast.
