First way is to bump the version of your local package using Epoch term. See http://sial.org/howto/rpm/epoch/ for examples. Second way is to use yum-priorities plugin, officially part of yum-utils > 1.0. If you give your local repository higher priority, ALL package on your local repo will be used instead of the official repo.
