One solution would be to make a mrepo install server/disk
You need to setup mrepo to update daily with your closest mirror
Then when you need to do an install, you can use an external hard disk 
to boot you latest version of Fedora and install (requires kickstart)
Or you could install from the original cd, adding mrepo as an additional 
repo at install time
Or you could do a network boot with CD or PXE (mrepo server)
