Yes but .. closest mirror only gets as detailed as per country.

If you want to add a local mirror to that, then a yum config file change
to add a baseurl to the repo file would be required.  Then fastestmirror
would pick the fastest from mirrorlist (10-15 listed machines per
country) and the added local mirror, which would always be fastest
unless it was offline, etc.
