You can just put "yum upgrade" in cron if you dare, I personally like to wait 
see if this list or BZ report problems. Only urgent bug fixes go in fast.

Note: some upgrades require a reboot, I don't know how you tell doing it this 
way, and if you reboot every time and you hit a fails to boot the machine is dead.

You may want to consider remote administration as an alternative, this is 
something I might do on RHEL but not on Fedora.
