I have a requirement where I need machines to only upgrade to even numbered sub releases eg: 6.0 , 6.2, 6.4 and only on my approval.
thats a rather strange requirement. 6.1 is 6.0 with updates rolled up.
a more sane requirement would be to only allow pre-tested updates, which you'd do by testing the updates on a staging machine, then posting them to your own internal yum repository which your production machines would update from.
This requirement sounds suspiciously like it was made for software that uses the "even numer = stable release, odd number = development release" versioning method. Since that doesn't apply here the requirement doesn't make sense.
