Which is the right way of doing things, since that is what constitues

What makes you think that ?
You might want to take a look at how yum works with repositories... (
hint: it dosent pull updates only from the updates repo ).

This is indeed the right way of doing things. I am not sure what your
problem is, except that you will save hdd space like this. Only changed
packages ( using rsync ? ) are going to be downloaded anyway. And if you
are using a network install to setup the machines, each machine will
come up with a 'recent' install base.

While bandwidth issues have eased up a bit, it still makes sense to run
a local mirror if you have more than a few machines.
