But I guess that was just a typo in this email ?

Try:
yum -d 10 --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=extras list available

Alternatively, if extras is just Fedora/everything you could mirror the 
repodata from /Everything/, along with the packages. {the catch is to 
arrange the folders in the same relative paths as they are on the mirror}.

As I understand it that is how many packages are in Fedora/Everything repo.

This works OK. yum uses the highest EVR, {or probably the first it reads 
if identical}.

By the way there is a project in the works that aims to ease the 
creation of on site Fedora/yum mirrors, I forget the name.
