Yes. This is a tested and supported upgrade path.
(We never remove the content of the "openvpn\config\" directory - of course
computers are nasty beasts, so always having a backup is good :-) )

We extensively test compatibility between client and server, so 2.4 to
2.4/2.5/2.6 is expected to work in both directions. 2.3 to 2.6 is going to
fail in some cases.
Linux distributions upgrade in their own pace, and if 2.5.0 wasn't released
when the distribution had their "cutoff for new versions day", they will
usually stick to 2.4.x for ever, backporting security fixes.
