The installer routine of kernel RPMs always inserts new kernels at
position 0 into grub.conf. It won't change the number of the default
kernel, though. I always have my current kernel in a position other than
0. That way, I'm never booting a new kernel by default. I try a new
kernel when I have time to deal with issues and then make it the
default.

Cheers
Steffen.
