You can do that but how easy/straightforward that be depends very
much on what you got installed on a box and from where.

I did something of that sort bringing a box from FC3 to FC5, and I
finished with a working and correctly upgraded system; but this
required some careful thinking and planning of stages, and in some
moments the system was obviously broken but enough was working to
make the progress possible.  With a "bad move" somewhere you may get
stuck.  Not for a "general public" or faint in the heart.

Looks to me that this is in "if you have to read instructions how to
do that you better not try this at home" category.  Sure, sometimes
it will work even if you will just follow instructions.
