Hi Stephen,
I'd suggest a 'yum clean expire-cache' on the systems not recognizing
the new packages. You may have old metadata on them.
I would encourage you to consider mirroring via rsync, rather than
reposync. Rsync will let you preserve hardlinks (and we've got a lot
of them) which should translate into less space used on your end.

Got an rsync of the 6.4 repo done and set up one system to use it and
that system still does not see the newer autofs contained in the base os
repo. Not sure if there are other packages in this same state, autofs
is one that we use heavily here so any updates to it are noticed pretty
quick. When I saw that it was available in the 6.4 repo and noticed
that none of my 6.4 systems were getting that update it raised a flag.
I can still run a "yum localupdate <path to new autofs>" and it works
just fine. But there seems to be something wrong with the package or
the repo keeping it from being seen as an update to the 6.3 version.
