Is it that the information is not available on CentOS 4 or that the 
yum-security plugin is just not installed? Have you tried

yum install yum-security

Perhaps the yum-security plugin is not available for install in this 
version? I can't verify since I don't have any CentOS 4 here.

The plugin gives this install tip if the security plugin for yum is not 
available. I found that it was not installed by default on all RHEL 5 
systems but was such a useful thing to have that just running the yum 
install and then re-running the plugin was worth it for the distinction.

However, it's up to you, the switches allow you run it either way.
