The problem is whether there is a way to achieve the

Continue to install machines with Centos 5.0(!!)
distro (not 5.1, 5.2, etc snapshots|subreleases), But
have .../centos/5/updates/{SRPMS|i386|x86_64}/
repositories|directories which contains updates since
5.0 to current level. This way I only need to feed yum
with two repositories: centos/5.0/os/ and
centos/5/updates/ -- some time will have local custom
repos as well, but that is another totally different
topic.
If you install a Centos 4.0 now you can 'yum update' and you'll end up
current with 4.5. I think this works because the [base] repository
floats with the symlinks to point at one containing the updated versions
of everything at the point release time. If you are talking about
mirroring the contents you'll have to mirror the symlinked directory.
