yum installing an outdated kernel

I'm trying to use yum to install old kernel versions but can't seem to pull
it off.
Yum search kernel tells me that the kernel exists in updates-released, which
I have enabled.

I've tried:
# yum install kernel-2.6.11-1.1447_FC4
which returns "nothing to do", and I've tried:
# yum --obsoletes upgrade kernel-2.6.11-1.1447_FC4
which returns "could not find update match for kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4"

So my question:  is there a way to install an older kernel with yum?
If not, what is the next easiest method to install an older kernel?

Thanks,
