I sent this suggestion to the original poster of the thread  and it
may have become lost:

Project proposal: integrate Suse DeltaRPM software with yum to improve
bandwidth efficiency when updating a distribution. I've experimented
with this and I've got good results
(see http://www.wombat.ie/software/rpmdc/manual.html ). However my
implementation is heavy, requiring Java, Tomcat etc.

Read the logs of this and yum mailing lists.

It's been hashed out probably a dozen different times.

    

Could you please summarise the conclusion?
  
Here is a place to start:
