I am using Puppet on RHEL systems. 

I do not use Puppet to patch the servers. I use Red Hat Network and yum update.
Puppet then fixes config changes that package updates break.

I’ve found the best way is that instead of using Puppet to perform the updates
you develop your own update system and use Puppet to manage it. At the risk of
shameless self-promotion, and to save time typing here, I’ve already written
this up at: http://serverfault.com/a/411060/3356

Same here... local Yum repo, no external repo, keeping up to date by
executing a "yum update" via exec
