one important thing to note is that current versions of rsyslog don't
allow strings to be delimited by ' only by "  this is being fixed in the
6.3 branch, but will not be backported.

6.3??  Yikes, we're running 3.22...installed on centos via yum a few months ago
using standard repositories.  The only optional repositories we use are 
rpmforge.
They prefer I use yum for consistency on so many servers, but should I just yum
uninstall these things and re-build 6.latest from source on all clients and the
log server, or is there a better repo for this?

the good thing about RHEL is that for the supported lifetime they don't change versions on you.

the bad thing about RHEL is that for the supported lifetime they don't change versions on you.

in this case, the lifetime of RHEL is longer than the time that version is being supported upstream, and so you either need to switch to a version tha's not supported by Red Hat, or get all your support from Red Hat.

given the huge improvements that have taken place, I would compile from source (look into the checkinstall package for help in making a .rpm to install on your systems)

I don't know if there is a repository for packages like this that is supported by Red Hat. the odds are fairly good that the Fedora packages will work, but you would need to test them.
