Well, that´s not entirely true.

It´s like this: engine-setup versionlocks the packages that it wants to
install and keeps them as they are. Updating them is only possible
through engine-setup.

All of the other packages you update like usual with yum
up(date|grade). So by only running engine-setup, you'll leave a lot of
other packages "behind".

So before, or after engine-setup, you also need to yum up(date|grade),
as well. Sh$t may go wrong if you do, then again, sh$t may go wrong if
you don´t :) Best you can do is ask.
