Sadly with red hat you have the option of red hat, run satellites, or bust. You could use the cent OS repository bit you'd lose your support for the system.

ehh? This not correct. It is simple enough to use 'mrepo' to 'mirror' updates, then copy the same up some media to 'transit the air gap', and then set up a local mirror that CAN be reached by a machine NOT connected directly to an external network.

Indeed, via setting up a mirror that CAN see the internet, and having a second interface that does NOT ROUTE, one avoid the 'sneakernet' step

0.0.0.0 --- firewall --- mirror (non-routing)
                           |
                           |
                         client that cannot 'see' the internet

We have used such a setup for 'builders' that need to see sources, but should not be able to see the internet
