I am using centos 6.5 minimal version, some of the updates may not be relevant for my OS. So I need to verify and decide the patches and accordingly need to update my OS. Please is there any way for this?
yum update will only update the packages installed on your system, so if you've installed certain packages, then its presumed that any fixes/updates to those packages are relevant.
the descriptions of what the various updates fix are documented on redhat's update bulletins.
