Using rpmfind to find rpm updates

I have lots of RedHat 6.2 boxes and I am looking at a way to use rpmfind
as a replacement for up2date. Basically I want rpmfind to tell me about
the updates for RH6.2. I have played with the config file for ages but
I keep getting results for redhat 5.2 or 6.1, never 6.2 updates.

I looked at the RDF data and it seems that there is no distribution
version number which could be the source of the problem but surely there
must be a way to identify the exact set of RPM's that you want to query.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance

John.
