Not exactly - if you have the kmod-nvida package set as an
install-only package on YOUR machine, then the update will fail. If
you do not, then the update will update the package. But I believe
it will also remove the packages for older kernels. This is an
unusual case - an update of a install-only package.

Take a look at the installonlypkgs option of yum.conf. (man yum.conf)
