  Out of curiosity, which kernel is running?  2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 or 
2.6.22.1-27.fc7?  Off the cuff, I'd guessing the former, and yum is trying 
to make sure it stays installed, but is also trying to make sure only two 
kmod-nvidia packages are installed, but the logic is telling it to keep 
the two latest installed instead of the one matching the current-running 
kernel and the latest (like it's doing with the kernel).
  Wow, did that even make sense? :-)
  Just a shot in the dark.  (And yes, I would agree that the behavior is 
non-intuitive.)
