Don't do that. 6.9 has been out for about 6 months and contains many security updates.

There is no wscat package or anything that supplies '*/wscat' in any yum repo that I have configured on either CentOS 6 or 7. If you have a source for a packaged version of it now then your best bet is to set up your own internal yum repo that your machine(s) can reach and put a copy of the package in that and run createrepo against it and set up your non-connected machines to fetch it from there.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
