I upgraded a RH 7.2 system to RH 7.3 by downloading from the fedora site 
  the 7.3 redhat release rpm and upgrading it.  I then executed yum 
upgrade.   I still have to upgrade the kernel.  I believe yum installs 
(as opposed to upgrade) the new kernel.

If you want to upgrade the packages one by one just download them 
manually from the fedora site.  Yum can probably be configured to just 
download and to keep the rpms in its spool directory.
