Ah, you are correct.  The latest source is available from the
updates-source repo. I tried installing the source using:

# yum --enablerepo=updates-source install kernel-$(uname -r).src
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
updates-source                                                       [1/8]
mirror-updates                                                       [2/8]
livna                                                                [3/8]
macromedia                                                           [4/8]
core                                                                 [5/8]
updates                                                              [6/8]
freshrpms                                                            [7/8]
extras                                                               [8/8]
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.src
Nothing to do


I don't know why this fails.
