You could also just download the kernel from the updates directory on
the Fedora website or a mirror site. I ended up doing that and it worked
fine.

Hi Neil,

this was probably just a short download (i.e. the file hasn't been
downloaded completely), and therefore its signature doesn't match with
the expected one. Make sure the whole file is downloaded -- you might
wanna try configuring up2date to use one of the mirrors
[http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html] instead of the default
server; there has been a thread here recently about it.
