>From the looks of the new instructions here. http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Category:Fedora if you read the /usr/share/doc/ltsp-server-5.4.5/README.rpminstall file, you will see they aren't using the bridge anymore. At least that was my understanding when I read it. It's not totally clear to me. The thin client network and dhcp appears to be set up to use the 192.168.67.0 subnet.

Looks like the jump to the newer versions of LTSP that were setup to use EL 6.4 made a number of changes. If you update you are going to have to check your configuration. It's not just a simple update.
