When a new update set is released (ie 4.1, 3.5, etc.), only the latest
[base] and [updates] are included in the main tree.

Taken together, the base and updates will be the latest version.

If you install from old media (3.3, 4.0) then you need to have [base]
and [updates] in your yum configuration.

(or get the 4.1 ISOs to use as your [base])
