How to Upgrade Katello-agent post-6.3 Upgrade

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Once we update our Satellite server from 6.2.15 to 6.3, what actions are required on the Satellite client systems?

We have already presented all the clients with their respective "Satellite Tools for 6.3" for example:
rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.3-rpms Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.3 (for RHEL 6 Server) (RPMs)

Will clients need to have their katello-agent updated using these new satellite 6.3 tools before they can receive updates successfully?
Can we enable the satellite-tools-6.3 repos and update that agent on the clients before the update of the Satellite to 6.3? (i.e. - Is it backwards compatible?)
