Why don't you just write a simple shell script(s) that update all the

It is a matter of download speed from a local machine versus a remote mirror. We update 60 machines so the time difference would be significant.

If in all machines are installed the SAME packets you simply need to update a machine an then make a local yum repository. If the machines are differently configured you can mirror the update server locally.
