Red Hat docs say:
To see which installed packages on your system have updates available,
use the following command:
yum check-update
What command must I run to view all available versions for a package installed on my system?
Example: yum check-update tells me java6 update #43 is available, but what if I want update #40?

This command won't focus specifically on one package, but by using a regex to do the matching you can still see what's available:
$ yum list available java*
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 installed
java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 1:1.6.0.0-1.36.1.11.9.el5_9 installed
Available Packages
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-javadoc.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-src.i386 1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 base
java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 1:1.6.0.0-1.40.1.11.11.el5_9 updates
java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo.i386 1:1.6.0.0-1.40.1.11.11.el5_9
You can make it "smarter" by filtering the output using grep.

That would be correct. You can update to the next version from what you currently have installed.

Note that the official repositories very rarely carry more than one version of a package, old packages are obsoleted for a reason.

You want to use --show-duplicates to see all the versions, but as vonbrand said if you are using CentOS/Fedora you only get the latest anyway (If you pay for actual RHEL, you'll get a lot of choice and may want to look at the upgrade-to command as well).
