[CentOS] when is the o.s. considered to be at a certain minor version? Or, is it safe to apply only certain package updates from the next release version?

Those 'newer kernels' are sub-versions of the same x.y.z kernel
originally released.
6.2 plus updates is currently 2.6.32-220, it was originally 2.6.32, and
6.anythign will remain 2.6.32, only the -xxx will change.
Yes, sometimes new hardware support is added.
Those technological previews are in the form of additional packages.
Don't want them? Don't install them!
