CentOS 5.6 is upstream version 5 update 6. The point releases are not
a separate product, just a batch of updates to the base product. As
soon as you do a "yum update" to get all the new updates you will have
a 5.6 install.

Oh ok! I didn't know about this way of tracking version in CentOS. It is a different paradigm from the other distros at least for the one I know.
Thanks guys,
