Though, the first time you do it, you're presented with a very large
number of updates.  Trying to do that piecemeal can be difficult, thanks
to all the dependencies, and YUM's default configuration not to keep
cached files.

Otherwise, it would be simpler to just keep on downloading stuff, until
you can do the updates.
