Clients should have the correct licensing and/or support contracts through which they can have access to the client update sides. Being an Oracle employee I do not know if the procedure is the same for clients.
But I guess the files to be used and the way of working should be pretty much the same.
In order to update your server to the latest patchsets you should go internally to http://linux.us.oracle.com
A set of rpm's exist that will install the required settings and definitions to update the system.
It is rather simple: download and install the rpm. Via firefox just execute the rpm.
Then you should look into /etc/sysconfig/rhn.
You will find a file called 'sources' which contains different locations for update packages all depending on the version of OEL you are running.
Uncomment the correct yum line by removing the # sign.
Save the file and quit the editor.

Once this has been done, just go to Applications > System Tools > Software Update.
A list will be shown of available updates.
Press the "apply updates" button and wait ...wait ... wait ...
