you might want to take a look at this :
http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34
it explains what the 4.x ( and 3.x and 2.x ) Versions are.
Essentially you are running CentOS-4, the Point release number only
indicates how updated your machine is.

you should not ever need to run 'yum upgrade' on centos. Migration via
yum from CentOS2 to CentOS3 to CentOS4 are not supported and actively
discouraged.
