Yeah, I did a yum update as soon as my install finished, and there were 288MB of updates. Alain was right, in that RHEL 6.1 security updates deemed important enough made their way into the 6.0 repos. The centos.org site explains it:
"Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a
Continous [sic] Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1
security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is
released itself. "

Because 6.0 is in fact 8 months old (from RHEL 6.0 release). I don't
think CenrOS team included the updates in the isos they released... And
with rolling updates, you should find also updates backported from 6.1...
