For example, if I install 5.3 and run “yum update” I will be migrated to 5.4.  Is there any way to designate that you want to update only to the currently installed minor release?

By default, there is no mechanism to lock on to a particular X.Y
release.  However, you may be interested in looking at Extended Update
Support:

http://press.redhat.com/2008/12/18/red-hat-increases-service-levels-and-reduces-costs-for-customers-with-extended-update-support/

This would get you where you need to be and is fully supported with RHN
Hosted and Satellite.

Thanks.
