I presume you are not using cmd.run from salt because you feel the
upgrade to the minions will disrupt the Salt connection?

For 3) you might consider using pkg.latest and not pkg.installed .
Then the minions should track the latest versions themselves. I do not
like doing that in general (again, I break Y when I am trying to fix
X just by doing a state.highstate) but it might work here.

Remember also that there is an order (master first, then minions? Or
the other way around?) that you need to follow when performing the
upgrade.
