I have a RHEL 5 server and I want to know the last date in which it was updated.
Is this technically feasible? If yes, how?

One way to do this is to look at the installation dates of the packages.
Show the latest installed rpm:
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{installtime} (%{installtime:date}) %{name}\n' | sort -n | tail -n 1
Note: This won't tell you if someone ran yum update
but there were no packages to install / update, which may or may not matter to you.
