Two things:

1. RHEL does keep intermediate packages published forever. RHEL derivatives may 
not necessarily do that, though.
2. Fedora has a huge archive repo that is not shipped/enabled by default that 
keeps all shipped updates for a release. If you install the 
`fedora-repos-archive` package, you'll get the updates archive. It's used by 
Fedora CoreOS primarily, but it's available to any Fedora user to use 
optionally.

That said, the problem you describe is potentially worth solving regardless.
