As another person mentioned, yum would work.  You could set up a
cron.daily or cron.weekly job to automatically yum update your machines
if you so chose.

You could also use Red Hat Network or Ximian Red Carpet (now called
Novell Zenworks Linux Management) to manage everything from a central
server.  Either product allows you to view your client hosts and push
updates to them as you wish.  I use Red Carpet.
