Yeah, that could be a possibility. With the current mirror management 
scripts there would be an "empty" row on the regular mirrorlist page 
https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ but I suppose we could make 
some changes to trim that away.

As usual, you should make your initial sync from some other external 
mirror, listed at https://www.centos.org/download/altarch-mirrors/
