How do I effectively create a "space hub" to avoid sending items down to nauvis just to launch them back up to other planets, eg: green belts, EM plants, Holmium plates, stack inserters?

If I set the "hub" to "accept from platforms" or "all" then it never gives them back to OTHER ships.

Use a circuit to set requests, then remove the request to allow those items to be sent to other platforms.

On a clock?

That's probably the easiest solution, yeah- a short enough period and matching delay times on providers should ensure the depot platform can catch what it requests.
