basic question...

It's not clear to me from the FAQ
http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x

Can I skip from SL5.0 to 5.6 or do I need to go through the intermediate minor updates 5.0->5.1->5.2...?

For instance if I jump from 5.0 to 5.6, could I just do "For the more cautious" step 6:
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/56/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
