This should work.
As I understand it, as long as you have the latest packages,
you have "5.1" or "5.2", regardless of what kickstart image
you started with.
So, what I do is rsync (from one of the mirrors to my local
repo) these directories:
centos/5/os/i386/
centos/5/updates/i386/
centos/5/os/x86_64/
centos/5/updates/x86_64/
Then, when I do a kickstart, it points to my local repo
above. So, the instant I'm done installing a machine, it
will always be at the latest release for all packages and
the OS.
(And then, of course, use a cron job to continually keep the
machine updated.)
