This script makes use of repomanage easy. Check it out:
cut--------------------------cut------------------------------------cut
#!/bin/bash
# SCRIPTNAME: use-repomanage
# Move or remove old versions of rpms from repo cache OR
# List new packs in repos cache

if [ ! -x "`which repomanage 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
    echo "install yum-utils rpm to continue. exiting..."
    exit 1
fi

ARCHIVEDIR=SomeDirPath
CACHEDIR=/var/cache/yum
if [ ! -d "$ARCHIVEDIR" ]; then 
    echo "Please correct \$ARCHIVEDIR - invalid archive dir \"$ARCHIVEDIR\" exiting..."
    exit 1
fi

if     [ "$1" = -n -o "$1" =  new ]; then
	    ACTION=-n
elif   [ "$1" = "-o" -o "$1" = old ]; then
	    ACTION=-o
else
	    echo "script takes two arguments -o/old or -n/new"
	    exit 1
fi

for x in `find $CACHEDIR -depth -type d -name packages`
do
	echo -e "\033[1;44mprocessing repo:\033[0m\t\c"
	basename `dirname $x` $CACHEDIR
	repomanage $ACTION $x|while read package
	    do
		[ $ACTION = -n ] && ls -lh $package || mv $package $ARCHIVEDIR
	    done
done


if [ "`ls -lh $ARCHIVEDIR|head -1|awk '{ print $2 }'`" != 0 ]; then
    echo -e "\n\033[0mDo you want to clean ARCHIVEDIR $ARCHIVEDIR. You will save `ls -lh $ARCHIVEDIR|head -1` [\033[1mNo\033[0m/YeS] ? \c"
    read CONFIRM
    if [ "$CONFIRM" = YeS ]; then
	rm -f $ARCHIVEDIR/*.rpm
     else
