When configuring your repo's using baseurl= instead of mirrorlist= you can pin the server being used. Find a http mirror at https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ or configure all hosts to use the same FTP mirror and white list that one. If you have many clients accessing the same mirror configuring a proxy (proxy= in yum.conf) to cache the downloaded rpms will reduce download time and load on the mirror you are using.
