Not really, because several packages are newer in FC6 updates than in CentOS 5 
(as RHEL/CentOS rarely gets version upgrades, Fedora often does), and Anaconda 
doesn't support downgrades. If you wait for RHEL 6, you may be able to upgrade 
from FC6 to that using the "upgradeany" option, but that's going to be an 
awfully long wait with no security updates and it'll also be a big jump.
