you will be up to date simply by running 'yum update'
When 5.2 is released, those updates will be installed
Are you saying that simply running "yum update" on a Centos-5.1 system will convert it to Centos-5.2, as and when that is released?

Yup
All upgrades / updates in the major versions (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.1) will happen automatically when you run yum upgrade, and when it's officially released for updates. And I'm almost certain most, if not every, other Linux distro also works like this
