There are several solutions to be able to make that happen ... manual repos yourself, mrepo, spacewalk, etc.
All of those that I've investigated make you manage copies of packages locally which seems like overkill when you aren't changing them locally. Is there any solution that simply lets you tell yum not to install any updates newer than the latest one you've tested? Or more cumbersome but still less so than maintaining repos - a way to have yum duplicate the package/versions that are on your test machines across a set of others?
No ... yum is designed to install software from repositories. If you want to install a subset of a repository, then you need make a new repository that is a subset of the said repository.
