Yep, that's what I do at home. The trouble for off-net machines is the download time - over 24 hours for CentOS 7 + epel, and then copy over. If you don't grab everything, the one package you miss is the one that stops the update. :-(

OS is CentOS 5.3 (yes, I know - upgrade)

at least patch CentOS 5. 5.3 is a snapshot from 6 years ago (2009), there've been 6 years of updates to CentOS 5 since that point, both security and bug fixes. `yum update` would bring you up to CentOS the .11 update plus security/bug fixes since.
