I'm not arguing if the yum-archive.postgresql.org should or should not permit browsing. I'm trying to give you a solution that you can implement today to acquire the packages that you need.
As if I haven't considered that (and instantly dismissed it, since Ubuntu and Windows).
IMHO I applaud the fact that these packages are more difficult to get than the currently supported and tested versions. I can't see a reason why anyone would want to still be running them, but lets give credit where credit is due. The packages are still available even if I can't see a reason to run them.
If someone needs to install another package in an existing EOL system, they'd need to download that package from the archive.

A repository is a bunch of web pages. I can curl every package under download.postgresql.org/pub, so why can't we curl every package under yum-archive.postgresql.org?

No. The original request was for the RPMs from a yum repository. You have to use a yum capable system.

You can do that on any host and use the yum download only or if you want it all use reposync.Then you can copy the actual RPMS anywhere you want.

Ah. But I can't do that, since the server is behind many firewalls, and only has access to an internal RHEL mirror.
The "current" binaries are all accessible via web browser (and curl), so it puzzles me why yum-archive isn't.
I opened Redmine issue 7892 to make them available.

The packages you need are definitely on the postgresql yum server. The repository can not be browsed, but if you add the yum repository definition file as documented at the bottom of the page
you will be able to do a "yum install amcheck_next96" easily.

amcheck was not part of the Postgres source tree until v10.It might exist in some form for 9.6, but you'd have to look outside the standard distribution channels
amcheck_next96 binary RPM were absolutely distributed by download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-6.
I downloaded amcheck_next96-1.4.1 when I downloaded 9.6.22, but did not download amcheck_next96-1.4.5 with 9.6.24.
If push comes to shove, I can probably install the 1.4.1 RPM along side 9.6.24.
