I'm running 9.5.5 on Centos 6.8 - no problems at all.
Go into /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, and add the line
exclude=postgresql*
to both the [base] and [updates] section. This will prevent yum from
looking at the Centos repositories for anything postgresql.
Then grab a repo file for a more recent version from
https://yum.postgresql.org/ and place the file in /etc/yum.repos.d.
From that point, yum will see the new version.
I don't know what issues you may face in upgrading from 8.2 - I have
never tried leaping so many [major] versions at once.
