[sam at samwrk ~]$ repoquery kernel | cut -d: -f2
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586

If you are using kernel-PAE and comparing to `uname -r` you'll need to
get rid of a spurious .PAE on the uname -r output:

[sam at samwrk ~]$ repoquery kernel-PAE | cut -d: -f2
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686
[sam at samwrk ~]$ uname -r
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE
[sam at samwrk ~]$ uname -r | sed -e 's/.PAE//g'
2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686

repoquery is provided by the yum-utils package.
