[CentOS] updating 5.6 but not going to 6.0

I'm confused as to how to install updates for CentOS 5.6 without upgrading
to 6.0. When I do a "yum check-updates", the new *-release packages for
6.0 are listed, so I don't think I want to do a simply "yum update".

Is there a way to update 5.6 without going to 6.0?
