If you are able to use up2date tool with RHEL ES 4.0 then you dont need to download RHEL ES 4.0 update1.
Since you are making updates then you dont need any updates like this. This kind of ISO images just for new installation cause
assume that you are using RHEL ES 3.0 and now there is update 5 for it and when you ran up2date tool you have to update too many packages.
Instead of doing this you can download update 5 ISO if you gonna make a new installation. Thats why there are update ISO's, if you have
RHN connection as I said you already updated :)
