I had this same problem at work. RSync was blocked, and I had a bunch of 
machines to update. I installed a SpaceWalk server 
(http://spacewalk.redhat.com/) to get around this. It downloads the packages 
via http and even has fields for proxy, username & password to work with an 
authenticating proxy.

There's a good tutorial on the CentOS wiki for this:
