are you creating the repository with yum-arch -z dirname
?

If not then they won't be compressed, the default is uncompressed
(though I might switch that)

After you check on the headers on the repository run this:

yum clean headers

that should get rid of all of your headers, then do a yum list and it
will download the new shiny compressed headers and you can check the
size then.

or better yet just run yum-arch -z on the repository and then run du -hs
on the headers dir.

that should give you a smaller number (I hope :)
