I believe I filed a BZ about getting a more recent version of KDE into RHEL6 
back when it was in beta.  Let me look...

Ah yes, here it is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609662
CLOSED, tagged as WONTFIX.  It _might_ make it into RHEL7.  Or perhaps by 
then it'll be KDE5.x they go with (-:

Sorry, but unless something's changed I'd say your chances are somewhere 
between slim and none, and I think it missed dinner.  You're not the only 
disappointed person.
