I've googled for this but haven't found an answer. I've got a 5.0 box

that i'd like to take to 5.1. I believe this is possible as i did an upgrade from 4.x to 5.0 but can't remember what i did. Ideally i'd like to avoid any downtime.

'yum update' will take you between minor versions (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2) without any issues. The only downtime required is to reboot to the new kernel which contains several fixes. This part you can usually do whenever you can schedule it.

And, a friendly reminder:

updatedb locate rpmnew rpmsave

to catch any changes to configs, etc. that you might need to examine.
