The 'file' resource can't do that: it doesn't have the capability to achieve
the results you want.
You have three choices here:
One, you can replace the file resource with an exec resource, and tie that
to a test if the file exists.
Two, you can store the file somewhere persistent, and accept that it isn't
going to do what you want.
Finally, three, which is the hardest, but also the *right* answer:
Create a YUM repository for your RPM packages. Configure that on your hosts.
Then use YUM to install the package, rather than trying to rewrite YUM inside
puppet.

...or that, which is basically option one except you replace the exec/wget
with an NFS mount being set up. :)
