I would never use Fedora for a server that I intend to keep in service for over 6 months...I prefer Fedora for my desktop since it has newer, expanded feature set of end user applications but stability is not Fedora's greatest virtue as Jim is suggesting. In any event...an 'upgrade' from any version of Fedora to any version of RHEL or CentOS or vice versa, from any version of RHEL or CentOS to any version of Fedora is never a recommended path and though some of these types of 'upgrades' might have a better chance of succeeding than others, someone who is not familiar with the differences in packaging or with the various Red Hat bundling overall is likely to struggle with the after effects of doing such an 'upgrade'.
