You simply need to invoke "sudo yum update" on a regular basis to ensure all the available updates are installed. Yum and rpm take care of sorting out where to check and apply updates from.

When you do 'yum update' (which you should do regularly) the first thing you will see is yum determining which mirror to use. Note that it doesn't matter which mirror it is, they are mirrors, they (should) contain an identical copy to the centos.org master. In the absence of any other factor, you should just let yum do its job. P.
One can also do the 'yum-cron' dance to automate updates.
