Do you need to?

Probably not, unless it's missing a feature that you need or you want
to squeeze every little bit of performance out of it that you can.

You probably want to at least update it, however.  Note that up2date
will not update your kernel by default (see "pkgSkipList=" option in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date).
