Sorry, I'd say this is wrong. Centos is a pretty stable base and I wouldn't expect backwards incompatible changes to be made within a stable release series. So if a Yocto release worked on a given Centos version (say Centos 7) at the time of release, it should still work now.

Advising people to "freeze" their host system and stop taking security/bugfix updates pushed by their distro is a bad idea.
