AFAIK, they would be the same thing. I wouldn't know of any major difference between a "very updated 6.1" and "almost 6.2".
when you run `yum update` just before 6.2 is released, you'll have a very updated 6.1. when you run it after 6.2 is released, you'll have a 6.2 plus any patches released since 6.2 was rolled up.
the 'numbered' releases just represent roll ups of patches that are bundled onto a new set of installation media. 6.1, 6.2, etc represent a snapshot.
