The GPL covers derived work. Redhat N+1 is definitely a derived work of redhat N which is itself under GPL as it's definitely a derived work of all the GPL software they build it out of.
If the line of reasoning you and others are proposing was sound, I could sell GCC with source code, then change a line of code and thereafter sell it as MyBestCompiler without ever distributing source code again.
