I've done quite a few updates from 6.0 to 6.1 and 6.1 to 6.2.  Just 
tried it on a 6.2 system and it's complaining about packages already 
installed.  Should this be possible or will I need to do full blown 
re-installs?

This was a script I used for 6.1 to 6.2 updates.
------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Do a slow upgrade of SL minor release
sed -i 's/sl61/sl62/' /etc/yum.conf

yum clean all
sleep 2

yum -y --releasever=6.2 update \*yum\*
sleep 2

cp /<automounted directory>/repo/sl62/sl62-base/Packages/autofs*.rpm /root/

yum -y --releasever=6.2 localupdate /root/autofs*.rpm
\rm /root/autofs*.rpm
sleep 2

for i in {a..z}
do
   yum --releasever=6.2 -y update --skip-broken  ${i}\*
   sleep 3
done

yum --releasever=6.2 -y update --skip-broken
------------------------------------------------------------------

I use a local mirror and some automounts which is why I manually updated 
autofs.
