We have several CENTOS 4.X which inside Firewall. I can NOT run "yum" inside firewall to upgrade O.S. to new release.
Does there has way I can download all RPM to otherside firewall server then transfer those files into servers inside firewall and upgrade.
Anyone have procedure dicuments or website can be reference?
Sure download the rpms and tranfer to a machine behind the firewall. Use createrepo, I believe, to create a local repository. Point the servers behind the firewall to this machine and use yum to update.

I use dag wiers excellent mrepo from rpmforge (can also be used for RHEL repos). Works great for me, cinch to setup and run mrepo -u as a cronjob to keep things up to date (and email me with updated rpms).
Best of luck.
