You are right, there is a difference:

upgrade
    Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag set.
    See update for more details.

If the /etc/yum.conf file contains:

obsoletes=1

yum update will be the same as yum upgrade.

The yum.conf file will have this line unless manually removed
or you've upgraded from a previous CentOS release that didn't
have it. I guess it has to be very old then, the line is present
in CentOS 4 and 5...

Which is why yum upgrade is recommended, yum update may or may not work for everyone, depending on this flag
