General question here for a total newbie here, but how far back does the centos repository keep its RPM's?

As long as it takes to keep a quaterly update. Then it's included in the base repo.

For example, if a new version of cups-devel comes out, what happens to the previous version of the cups-devel RPM? Does it remain in the repository?

it stays there, but is not used (should not).

Does it get overwritten? What if we have to revert back to the older version of the RPM?

yum install your-previous-version.
