There will be some major package updates in the new distribution (such as kernel 2.2.0, glibc 2.1, gnome 1.0 (?), kde 1.1 (?) and others). You can still argue that they should go with 5.3, but there are as many pro's as there are con's.
btw, we are sure that Red Hat will use 6.0, because they mention it in the rpm changelogs of some other rawhide rpms : e.g. the cxhextris rpm (changelog available at http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/sparc/ RedHat/RPMS/cxhextris-1.0-13.sparc.html )
(as you can see, they made the decision more than a month ago.)
