The work around that we found quite helpful is to update /etc/yum.conf,
to point to a different repository directory path. That way if another
repository is added through CentOS or through any other rpm, we do not
have to retrofit or update the kickstart.
We do this with the following kickstart post-script:
mkdir -p /path
grep -qF -- "reposdir=/path" /etc/yum.conf || echo "reposdir=/path" >>
/etc/yum.conf
Thanks and good luck

*** STOP. EXTERNAL EMAIL. USE CAUTION ***
Hello,
We do this with the following kickstart post-script:
echo -e "\n############# Removing default CentOS repositories ########\n"
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base updates extras centosplus
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable cr
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base-debuginfo
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable fasttrack
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable c7-media
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable base-source updates-source
extras-source centosplus-source
/usr/bin/yum-config-manager --disable C7.0.1406-\*
Which sets all repos to enable=0
After that we do a yum -y update
To test that its persistent I did a quick "yum reinstall
centos-release.x86_64" and the enabled=0 is kept and original repos
didn't showed up
I hope that helps.
BR
Michael

Quick-n-dirty kickstart postinstall command we run:
# Disabling CentOS Internet Repos
egrep '^\[.*\]' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*.repo | awk -F: '{print $2}'
| sed -e 's/\[//g' -e 's/\]//g' | xargs yum-config-manager --disable
