What is the architecture of the corresponding kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
package? Check the architecture with rpm with the queryformat option.
(Sorry, not sitting at a Fedora machine just now to check the exact format
you need. Something like 'rpm -q --queryformat "%{ARCH}\n"
kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6'.)
The kernel-devel and kernel package architectures have to match. I think
yum is doing what it thinks is the right thing based on what you have
installed.
So boot to another installed kernel, remove the kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
and kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 packages, and reinstall them.
