No,

CentOS Linux does NOT use the --security option of yum.

The reasons why have been discussed on this list several times.

You must use yum without the security options for CentOS Linux.

There is no way, other than maintaining your own repos and repodata, to
get only security updates in CentOS Linux.

There never has been a way to do that in any version of CentOS Linux.
