No, the engine must be updated as for a standalone engine by running the same update procedure:
- enable the new repo if needed (3.3 -> 3.4 or 3.4 -> 3.5)
- yum update
- engine-setup

engine-setup is needed in order to upgrade the engine.
I've updated a bit http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Upgrade_Hosted_Engine, hopefully should answer your questions.
