This is a simple RPM dependency error, nothing to directly do with
selinux.  The complaint is that the new kernel RPM you want to install
needs a later version of the selinux-policy-targeted RPM.

Either use yum to update everything in one hit or go looking in an FC3
mirror for an updated selinux-policy-targeted RPM of version >=
1.17.30-3.16 and install both that and the kernel.
