[Yum] Using yum to update rpms without installation

I am looking for a tool to keep disk-only respositories in sync
with what is on the net. I am making a single-disc linux distro
based off FC1, and would like to be able to include packages that
they do not. Ideally, I would have a structure as follows:
~build/new_linux
~build/repositories/fedora
~build/repositories/freshrpms
~build/repositories/atrpms
~build/repositories/newrpms
etc.
Where I would have a list of what packages should be kept up to date
in the repositories. Then I would like to use yum to keep the
directories in sync with the rest of the net. I could then merge
the RPMs together that I wanted, and generate an ISO containing
those RPMs, to simplify installation and updating.
However, glancing through the yum man page, I do not see a way
to download, but not install, an rpm. Is there a way to do this,
or should I work on extending yum?
Apologies if this has been asked before. I did not see a way to
search the list.
