engine yes, nodes no.

A 3.6 engine will be able to work with 3.5 nodes in 3.5 compatibility mode.

It says it's for 3.1, so it's not up2date...

Sandro documented some time ago an upgrade from fedora 19 to 20, in [1].

Can't currently find something for el6->el7. You should definitely have
a look at [1] if you intend to try - mainly do not forget upgrading
postgresql's data.

If you are looking at migration to a new machine, then I suppose that
something based on backup/restore, similar to [2] but skipping the
hosted-engine-specific parts, should work. Didn't try that myself.
