These updates are not really bundles. They are a bunch of individual
packages released at the same time, including the "redhat-release"
package that contains /etc/redhat-release

I don't think you would be able to easily upgrade to just update5
without having access to some archived snapshot from that timeframe. I
might be wrong, but I never tried.

Grabbing everything available from up2date will get you 4.6 plus any
security fixes released to date.
