If you have RHEL contract for at least one server, you should be able to download and create local repositories and update from it.
Other then that you should convince security folks to allow internet just for update or you can create a proxy just for update (you should notify folks you will be using proxy).

approx.conf
APPROX.CONF(5) File Formats Manual APPROX.CONF(5)
NAME
approx.conf - configuration file for approx proxy server
SYNOPSIS
/etc/approx/approx.conf
DESCRIPTION
Each non-blank line of the configuration file should contain a name/value pair, separated by white space. Comments start with a "#" char-
acter and continue to the end of the line.
Names that begin with the "$" character are reserved for use as configuration parameters. The following parameters are currently defined:
$cache Specifies the location of the approx cache directory (default: /var/cache/approx). It and all its subdirectories must be owned by
the approx server (see also the $user and $group parameters, below.)
$interval
Specifies the time in minutes after which a cached file will be considered too old to deliver without first checking with the remote
repository for a newer version (default: 60)
$max_rate
Specifies the maximum download rate from remote repositories, in bytes per second (default: unlimited). The value may be suffixed
with "K", "M", or "G" to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes per second, respectively.
$max_redirects
Specifies the maximum number of HTTP redirections that will be followed when downloading a remote file (default: 5)
$user, $group
Specifies the user and group that owns the files in the approx cache (default: approx)
$syslog
Specifies the syslog(3) facility to use when logging (default: daemon)
$pdiffs
Specifies whether to support IndexFile diffs (default: true)
$offline
Specifies whether to deliver (possibly out-of-date) cached files when they cannot be downloaded from remote repositories (default:
false)
$max_wait
Specifies how many seconds an approx(8) process will wait for a concurrent download of a file to complete, before attempting to
download the file itself (default: 10)
$verbose
Specifies whether informational messages should be printed in the log (default: false)
$debug Specifies whether debugging messages should be printed in the log (default: false)
The other name/value pairs are used to map distribution names to remote repositories. For example,
debian http://ftp.debian.org/debian
security http://security.debian.org
TCP PORT NUMBER
The port on which approx(8) listens is not specified in this file, but in /etc/inetd.conf. The default value is 9999, for compatibility
with apt-proxy(8), but it may be changed by running the command
dpkg-reconfigure approx
