No? What are dependencies for, then?
Or don't yum/RPM support them in the way debian does?
(that is why it's quite easy to have mixed Debian... we have machine with
mix of debian 5,6,7 and even 8... not that It's good idea).

If the OP searches for newer version than is available in CentOS6, we can
make this clear. However if newer version appears in CentOS6 repositories, 
then "yum update (bind)" should do that...

and bind-chroot is afaik only something that sets up chrooted version for
bind.
