It seems to me that if you want this "stop on 6.x" feature, it's because 
you certainly[*] have more than 1 box to manage, which means keeping a 
local repo with local copies of the RPMs will result in faster updates, 
with less impact on your Internet link.

So it's a feature.

[*] If you have only 1 box to manage, there can be no need for this, 
unless you have some third party telling you which 6.x snapshot is 
blessed.  Otherwise, you're testing that 1 box, and after testing, 
you're updated, so there is no need for a blessed repository.
