Directory packages should be in its respective repository name directory. Your packages directory seems misplaced. For example, in my case..

Code:

# yum repolist
repo id		repo name		status
rhel64		Local Repo		3,720
repolist: 3,720

# yum install finger

# ll /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6Server/rhel64/packages/
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 22K Aug 17  2010 finger-0.17-39.el6.x86_64.rpm
