3.2.4 was the last "release", wasn't it?
I do not think RedHat includes octave in their latest releases,
but it is available  in the EPEL repository:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/SRPMS/repoview/octave.html

This is correct, but since you can include the EPEL repository
in the yum config it is "just like" they distribute it (except for
the license issues...).
