At least one is to put the whole installation tree on some machine,
replace all outdated packages by their updates, generate new
'base/hdlist*' files using 'genhdlist' utility (you will find that
among anaconda tools), setup this machine as an installation server
and install over a network from it.  You will get whatver versions
you dropped there.

This is enough of work that for a single machine it will be surely
quicker and faster to install whatever was in a release and
immediately update it.  'yum' will pick up the latest versions from
whatever you will point it so you do not have to be particularly
careful about removing obsoletes.  But if you have multiple machines
to install then trade-offs may look differently.
