Actually, you can use the demo service of RedHat up2date.
When you register, simply set the entitlement of the system to demo.
Although, you are only allowed one demo account.

You can just download the component that you wish to upgrade and than upgrade the older package with rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm. Its simple, efficient , free and will make you learn linux. Automatic upgrading is nice but its a windows type thing...
