That's a bit odd....
The SRPMS directory within the various '6.#' directories is a symbolic link to 6x/SRPMS/ so it should be automatically detected by rsync as identical and treated as such.......

Subject: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] Hard links no longer maintained?
While experimenting with a local mirror over rsync, I notice that the
Scientific Linux doesn't seem to be maintaining hard links between
source RPMs anymore.
For example ...
6.4/SRPMS/vendor/at-3.1.10-44.el6_5.2.src.rpm
6.5/SRPMS/vendor/at-3.1.10-44.el6_5.2.src.rpm
However, the older files ...
6.4/SRPMS/vendor/at-3.1.10-42.el6.src.rpm
6.5/SRPMS/vendor/at-3.1.10-42.el6.src.rpm
... are hard linked.
In 6.[45]/SRPMS/vendor, the oldest non-hardlinked files are both ...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2254830 Oct 15 2012 tar-1.23-9.el6.src.rpm
But they have the same md5sum, so I would expect them to be hard linked.
Is this something that is already known? Perhaps it's the upstream
vendor's change in behaviour?
Cheers,
Kenny.
