The command in there (note #6) may work for you as well.
Excellent, thanks for the pointer. However, in my case I want to clean out the older packages since already I successfully completed the "yum update" to 4.6, right? So it's just a matter of changing the "head" to "tail" on that command so it looks like this:
for file in `rpm -qa --queryformat="%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n" | sort |uniq -c | grep -v " 1 " | \ cut -c 9- | cut -d" " -f1`; do rpm -q --last $file | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1; done | \ grep -v kernel | grep -v gpg-pubkey | xargs rpm -e --justdb -- nodeps

Replacing the head with a tail should give you the "oldest" one, yes.
