Of course.  Yum is designed for just such purposes.

Once you've done the manual steps of the process listed earlier in the
thread, do a "yum check-update" to see what it will update.  Review
that list and then do a "yum update package1 package2 package3" from
that list.  If there are any dependencies, yum will tell you and ask
if you want to install them.  You get complete control.
