Correct me if I am wrong.. But you can differentiate shaping of traffic of the
same protocol if it has different Type Of Service. You can for example give
higher priority to SSH shell and lower the priority of scp bulk file
transfers as they have different TOS. Don't know if there exist anything like
it for HTTP (don't think so). If it doesn't exist you probably have to find
another way (not in PF).
Or you could have the ISO downloads from a different IP.
Maybe you should give ip aliasing a try (nice howto in the openbsd faq).
You could then have servers bind to these aliases, and then control
how much bandwidth these aliases can use with pf or something.
