It'd be nice to have yum-cron better integrated/configurable with yum-downloadonly. Currently the cron scripts are not marked as %config so any changes to them will be lost on upgrades, and I don't know how to do --downloadonly in yum-daily.yum.
Have added a dependency on yum-downloadonly, and a DOWNLOAD_ONLY config option. Have deployed this on several machines for testing, will release it soon. I don't want to mark the cron scripts as %config, but I see how this could working around this bug problematical.
