Can you clarify what the ''checking the repository URL ..." actually means? Does this mean that the Nessus scanner would need to have internet access? Also, that means the account used to perform the scans needs to have read only access to those repo files?

Checking the repository URL does not require internet access. The check is accomplished by reading the contents of files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ Previously, the checks read in the repository label. The enhanced checks will instead read the URL parameter.
You are correct; read access is required for the repository files.
