Errata Updates for RHEL 5.11
I'm running RHEL 5.11 and haven't received any errata updates for several months now when they use to be issued on average 3 to 4 a month. Have they stopped issuing errata updates for for RHEL 5?

There were 5 errata that came out in November. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata.html

RHEL 5 has entered the Production 3 phase of its lifecycle, where there is no more hardware enablement or software enhancements, and errata provided slow down, mostly to critical issues without a workaround.

How are you checking for updates? "yum check-update" (or "yum update") sometimes gives false negatives if there is bad/corrupted data in the local caches. "yum clean all" can fix that. Viewing the errata count on a Satellite server or at redhat.com may also give misleading results; "rhn-profile-sync" usually fixes issues if the problem is on that end.
