Unfortunately the version numbers of many things in Fedora 14 are
greater than those in CentOS 6.
I have done this migration, for a desktop user, but I did it with a
reinstall (the user has a separate /home filesystem). Most things
worked fine, but that was a desktop, not a server.
For that matter I did this migration on my own box not too long after
CentOS 6 was first released; but, again, that's a desktop application
and not a server. You'll have to check your server packages' versions
in detail and see what may be downgraded by the migration.
Since many packages have a greater epoch-versions-release string in F14
than they do in CentOS 6 many packages probably would not get
up/downgraded properly.
