For CentOS5, you could use yum-downloadonly plugin :
# rpm -qi yum-downloadonly  [ output shortened ]
Name        : yum-downloadonly             Relocations: (not relocatable)
Group       : System Environment/Base       Source RPM: yum-utils-1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2.src.rpm
URL         : http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/yum-utils/
Summary     : Yum plugin to add downloadonly command option
Description :
This plugin adds a --downloadonly flag to yum so that yum will only download
the packages and not install/update them.
