5.0 and 5.1 are not different versions. 5.1 is just 5.0 with the latest 
security patches.
Thinking that 5.0 and 5.1 are different is like thinking Windows XP wit 
service pack 2 is a different OS than Windows XP with service pack 1.

So, yes there are deeply compelling reasons to upgrade. If you want to have 
patches for several kernel buffer exploits, as well as many other security and 
functionality patches, you need to do one thing;

yum upgrade, and answer yes.

Or even easier;
yum -y upgrade.
