That is correct. What they approve is based on the contents of the DVD or CD for a particular version at the time of initial release. The governmental regulatory framework in which we work is what drives the requirements. I am well aware that 5.1 is not the latest, greatest, current or anything else of that matter.

# yum update
you're on whatever is latest for the major version you're running, regardless of what point release you initially installed.
