Yum after downlaod and installation of packages delete these packages from it's cahce /var/cache/yum , to tell yum not to delete these packages open the /etc/yum.conf and chang the keepcache=0 to the keepcache=1 , or use the yumdownloader to download a rpm package with it's dependencies for later installation in the other dir:

yumdownloader --resolve

With local yum repo it is easy to insall the local fedora rpm packages with it's dependencies.
Make repo directories for example in /opt with:

  mkdir -p fedora/os/i386
  mkdir -p fedora/updates/i386

Copy the fedora local rpm packages to the fedora/os/i386, open the fedora/os and run the command:

  createrepo i386/

This well create the repodata directory with needed header files.
Then copy the fedora update rpm packages to the fedora/updates/i386, open the fedora/updates and run the commmand:

  createrepo i386/

Add these repos to the /etc/yum.repos.d , creat two files fedora.repo and updates.repo as follows:

fedora.repo:
  [fedora]
  name=Fedora - $basearch
  baseurl=file:///opt/fedora/os/$basearch
  enabled=1


updates.repo:

  [updates]
  name=Updates - $basearch
  baseurl=baseurl=file:///opt/fedora/updates/$basearch
  enabled=1

To install any package from the local yum repo, run the yum:

yum install package_name
