The same question was asked here yesterday by Ashu and an answer was 
given.  I have 5.6.2-1 installed, apparently from the SL7rolling repo 
some time ago, and yumex has not offered to change it.  I don't have 
SL7rolling enabled now and I'm not seeing 5.9...

There was a rather inconclusive BZ about it last year.
