Question: Can an upgrade be done using yum or up2date?
Yes, but the process may require a fair bit of manual fiddling to get it right. Using anaconda is likely to be easier if that option is open to you (which it might not be for a remote machine for instance).
Someone that has done lots of upgrades using yum has documented their experiences here: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html
