The line: baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/$releasever/$basearch
does not work. However, changing "el" to "rhel", then all works very well using yum upgrade VirtualBox
The new line: baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/$releasever/$basearch
Hopefully this is helpful to someone.
