Your puzzlement is legitimate, given the kind of advice you received.

Here's the procedure (everything needs to be run as root):

1. Do this just once:
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY*

2. Then, whenever you want to update the system, do this:

yum update

You can update just one package if you wish (albeit it's generally
better to update everything):

yum update firefox

To install a package that's not on your system:

yum install package-name-here
