what is confusing me is the usage of upgrade and update as synonym. The 
suggested activity is an update (you stay with the same OS, libs etc.) 
and this will not break any compatibility with an already running 3rd 
party software. I mean if someone is scared about the "production" system, 
will it change a broken harddisk if it is faulty? 5.4 is faulty - it is 
an inherent attribute of software that mistakes are found and corrected.

So my suggestion is; reboot your system to check to functionality of all services
after this. then update your system with yum update rpm* glibc yum*; yum update

to your original question: you can not use a more recent glibc version. 
it is not just an optional piece of software that can be altered, it is
the main/core part of an OS ...
