I don't think you can do that.

Yum will get its packages from a set which have been 'approved' by RedHat for that particular RedHat version, and they've only approved up to v2.4 for your version.

So, you'll either have to upgrade RedHat, or use 'unapproved' packages.

From experience, RedHat are somewhat slower to approve new versions of packages than some other distributions, so you might want to switch to the RedHat-esque Fedora or the Debian-esque Ubuntu, which tend to update to newer versions more quickly.
