Do you mean upgrading from RHEL 6.3 to 6.5 (or better, to latest)?
I'm going to guess that OL is Oracle Linux... correct?
Of course Oracle Linux is different from Red Hat, though they try to maintain compatibility. I wouldn't think it's a problem to upgrade. Generally speaking (especially if there is no support) you should try to upgrade to the latest on version 6 (does look like 6.5 is the latest for Oracle Linux).
If you have doubts about what it might do, again, relatively safe, you might want to check with Oracle support. Generallly speaking (Red Hat, CentOS) updates on the major branch are pretty safe and you can control upgrades to the kernel and bouncing of services... this is "normal" and does not require a "building up from scratch" in fact keeping your 6.x RHEL/CentOS (and presumably Oracle Linux) based system up to date is the best way to get all the security fixes for the system.
I'll keep quiet on this and see if an Oracle Linux user can confirm...

NAME
Jifty::Upgrade - Superclass for schema/data upgrades to Jifty applications
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Upgrade;
use base qw/ Jifty::Upgrade /;
use Jifty::Upgrade qw/ since rename /;
since '0.7.4' => sub {
# Rename a column
rename table => 'cthulus', name => 'description',
to => 'mind_numbingly_horrible_word_picture';
};
since '0.6.1' => sub {
my @sizes = ('Huge', 'Gigantic', 'Monstrous', 'Really Big');
my @appearances = ('Horrible', 'Disgusting', 'Frightening', 'Evil');
# populate new columns with some random stuff
my $cthulus = MyApp::Model::CthuluCollection->new;
while (my $cthulu = $cthulus->next) {
$cthulu->set_size($sizes[ int(rand(@sizes)) ]);
$cthulu->set_appearance($appearances[ int(rand(@appearances)) ]);
}
};
DESCRIPTION
"Jifty::Upgrade" is an abstract base class to use to customize schema and data upgrades that happen.
since VERSION SUB
"since" is meant to be called by subclasses of "Jifty::Upgrade". Calling it signifies that SUB should be run when upgrading to version
VERSION, after tables and columns are added, but before tables and columns are removed. If multiple subroutines are given for the same
version, they are run in order that they were set up.
versions
Returns the list of versions that have been registered; this is called by the Jifty::Script::Schema tool to determine what to do while
upgrading.
upgrade_to VERSION
Runs the subroutine that has been registered for the given version; if no subroutine was registered, returns a no-op subroutine.
rename table => CLASS, [column => COLUMN,] to => NAME
Used in upgrade subroutines, this executes the necessary SQL to rename the table, or column in the table, to a new name.
