Updating via a linux distro generally won't bring you a new version.

Two options:

1) Install it yourself independently, typically in /usr/local/, 
compiling from source.  This will involve making sure you have some 
build dependencies.  Simply using "pip install matplotlib", or something 
very much like that, might work.

2) Get an entire independent python installation such as Anaconda from 
continuum.io.  This provides an easy way of keeping everything up to 
date.  This is what I recommend unless you really want to learn how to 
build and install software yourself, independently of installers like yum.
