Via parameters you have the 2 options: to mirror the repo locally or just point at the url on the internet where it is available - execute 'cobbler reposync' - then use 'cobbler profile edit --name=<profilename> \ --profiles=<name-of-your-profile>'. Servers deployed with named profile will then know about the updates-repo - if you use a proper kickstart-file which evaluates the repo-variable. I am not sure if anaconda is then automatically using the latest packages from the updates repo or in the first place the older versions get installed. However, in the %post section you can use the repo for sure, 'yum -y update' updates the system there.
