There are three kinds of remote operations: fetching an index, fetching
a binary package and building from a source package.
The first two operations are done by running curl, the latter is
done with internal rpm functions.
Currently this means you can use anonymous ftp, http and of course
files on a mounted filesystem.

Anonymous FTP isn't more security relevant than HTTP.
