I'm working with exactly the same issue. I prefer to install as few errata as 
possible on production systems. RHN Satellite Server 5.1 supports extended 
update support (EUS) which is a special channel that should provide security 
updates for a given point version without updating to the next point version 
(like 5.2).

Note that I have not tried this myself yet, but it seems promising. Read the 
release notes for satellite 5.1 if you are interested:
