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.
It seems to me that if you want this "stop on 6.x" feature, it's because you certainly[*] have more than 1 box to manage, which means keeping a local repo with local copies of the RPMs will result in faster updates, with less impact on your Internet link.
So it's a feature.
[*] If you have only 1 box to manage, there can be no need for this, unless you have some third party telling you which 6.x snapshot is blessed. Otherwise, you're testing that 1 box, and after testing, you're updated, so there is no need for a blessed repository.
