On http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x I
found:
"These instructions are for updating between minor releases, such as
from 5.0 to 5.1. Changes between major releases 4 and 5 (such as from
4.2 to 5.1), cannot be done with yum, but must be done with the main
installer." 

So you have either to burn a DVD or to burn at least a minimal installer
CD (e.g. SL-60-x86_64-2011-03-03-boot.iso) to boot and update over
network.


But I'm puzzled: If I remember correctly I updated from 5.6 to 6.0 using
the procedure described there (using version 6 repo in line 6.)

But unfortunately I'm not shure!
