Yes it can be done using yum. It's not an officially supported method
hence the 'controversy', but I've updated many systems this way without
much issue and infact it seems to work better in many cases than
upgrading with the DVD/CD method. You just need to manually install the
fedora-release file from fc6 and then do a yum update.
