If that is the complete directory structure at those two levels then I
don't see how it can't work.  I'm doing exactly the same, save for the
exact directory names.  I'm using the "-mX" switches when invoking
setup.  If you have an x86 or x86_64 directory under cygwin-2015-10-16
however, then setup would never look any further (you can't nest mirror
directories).

Setup does essentially this (and finds the following setup files on my
system when it gets started in the top-level mirror directory, provided
that $arch="x86"):

$ find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -name $arch | \
  xargs -I: sh -c 'for f in :/setup.{xz,bz2,ini}; \
  do [ -e $f ] && { echo $f ; break; } done' && \
  find -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name $arch | \
  xargs -I: sh -c 'for f in :/setup.{xz,bz2,ini}; \
  do [ -e $f ] && { echo $f ; break; } done'

./cygport/x86/setup.bz2
./cygwin/x86/setup.bz2
./maint/x86/setup.xz
./patch/x86/setup.xz
./perl/x86/setup.ini

What's the result you're getting?

Just in case you want to try the setup.exe I have compiled locally:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
wget="wget -rxnH --cut-dirs=1 http://cygwin.stromeko.net";
$wget/x86/setup-x86.exe
$wget/x86_64/setup-x86_64.exe
sha512sum setup*.exe
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
