Mostly correct. What we envision is that there is a need to manage the 
flow the packages within the dev process of an appliance. So, within 
your mirror link.. there should be a means to create a "DEV" appliance 
(with repos) and move them through a test / stage / production process 
where any of the various lifecycle steps could be on completely 
different machines / networks.

Not updates from cobbler. But given the repo management tooling which is 
in there I could see cobbler having functionality to migrate packages 
from one repo to another. Once there is a yum repo, yum would take care 
of the rest.
