Because PHP has had a number of incompatible language changes between
versions. RPM will be able to manage the job of replacing the php .so
(or executable), but it is likely that there will be code modifications
that you'll need to do in order to keep your site running.

There's workarounds for that of course (you *can* run multiple versions
of php on the same machine, but it's a real pain), but you'll have to do
some legwork either way.

Postfix won't present problems. I don't remember how straightforward it
is to upgrade MySQL. Can anyone here comment? I'd take a mysqldump of
the database before you do anything.

HTH,
