[CentOS] when is the o.s. considered to be at a certain minor version? Or, is it safe to apply only certain package updates from the next release version?

They coincide with batches of less critical fixes so if you are
installing a new system it would make sense to install from the new
media instead of the huge update from an earlier version.  But I don't
think you can generalize about them much more than that.
