can I automatically upgrade using yum ??
yes.
For upgrading the distribution using CD/DVD is the recommended method
Network install works fine as well. We have done Redhat 8 9 and fedora 1 2 3 upgrades on remote machines with serial-console or ipmi remote management cards, it does require some advance planning.
Upgrading between major versions by hand is ill-advised as the installer, especially for 2 has to work some magic with things like lvm.
I don't find switching between major versions of fedora quite as elegant as on debian or a freebsd install, but I've also screwed myself going from freebsd 4.10 to 5.2 as well, so it's not like it becomes trivial if you choose to run freebsd.
I think the original person who posed the question can be reasonably well assured that there are people providing real services, in production quality requirements on Fedora Core.
but upgrades using yum itself is possible
for upgrading packages you can use yum itself.
chkconfig yum on will enable automatic updates
