I'm working with exactly the same issue. I prefer to install as few
errata as possible on production systems. RHN Satellite Server 5.1
supports extended update support (EUS) which is a special channel that
should provide security updates for a given point version without
updating to the next point version (like 5.2).

Note that I have not tried this myself yet, but it seems promising. Read the
release notes for satellite 5.1 if you are interested:
