Yes.
up2date can speak yum.
You can setup your own yum repository with the either downloaded
rpms or the one computer which downloads from rhn but does not delete 
after install.

In /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources comment out the line
#up2date default
und have your own repository like
yum your_repos http://server/dir
