Finally got some time to re-visit my problems.
Answering my own question. The correct variable to set up proxy is
indeed http_proxy (not just proxy).
I still can't figure out how to deal with doing reposync on the whole
repo, not just a list of rpms. yumdownloader likes to have implicit list
of files to download.
Is mirror location in the form of http:// supported in cobbler if RPMS
list is empty?
I am using cobbler 1.4.3 on fedora 10.
In short - if I enter http_proxy either by editing file in
/var/lib/cobbler/config/repos.d/ or using cobbler command and list rpms
to use it works as expected.

I tried to follow your advice, but see no difference. The environment
field (and it is the only one I noticed!) seems to change after saving
it in web interface.

I am confused with version numbers here. I am using 1.4.3 now. Did you
mean to try it on 1.6.*? I'd rather wait for 1.6 to hit fedora 10
updates to give it another try.
Thanks!
