If I'm not mistaken, how that functions is as follows. When the pack of updates comes out for CentOS4 it's then noted as CentOS 4 U1 (update pack number 1). Which effectively makes your installation CentOS 4.1
So yes, it works as you would imagine. If yum updates everything (and you reboot your machine when a new kernel comes into place, should one in fact come into place) then you are running CentoS 4.1
