You could also create an "update depot" server that can be accessed by the isolated systems...set it so that all it does is download the update files into a repository directory...then point the servers to that system. That assumes you can cross subnets when needed.

NAME
find-repos-of-install - report which Yum repository a package was installed from SYNOPSIS
find-repos-of-install [options] package1 [package2...] DESCRIPTION
find-repos-of-install is a program which reports the Yum repository that a specified package was installed from. OPTIONS
--version Report program version and exit. -h, --help Display a help message, and then quit. --repoid=REPOID Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). --enablerepo=ENABLEREPOS In addition to the default set, query the given additional repository, even if it is disabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple times. --disablerepo=DISABLEREPOS Do not query the given repository, even if it is enabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple times. --repofrompath=REPOID,PATH/URL Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add to the repositories for this query. This option can be used multiple times. If you want to view only the pkgs from this repository combine this with --repoid. The repoid for the repository is specified by REPOID. -C, --cache Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not download any metadata or update the cache. Queries in this mode can fail or give partial/incorrect results if the cache isn't fully populated beforehand with eg "yum makecache". --tempcache Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache. --sync2yumdb Sync anything that is found to the yumdb, if available.
