Yes you can use a local copy of the rpm and either 'rpm -Uhv' it or 'yum localinstall' it. or:
URL to the repo release rpm, yum can install for you with: yum install URL
If you have the http URL that you used to download the rpm manually, you can just 'yum install URL". Older versions of yum could not do that so the documentation may not mention the simple approach.
you also can...
# rpm -ivh http://path.to/yum/repo/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
and rpm will wget the URL then install the downloaded file. this has worked for a LONG time.
