So I've been testing newer kernels from koji directly, and now my 
regular yum update is broken with this error.  Am I mistaken, or 
shouldn't yum/rpm ignore older packages in the repo vs. the newer ones 
I have installed?

Transaction Check Error:
  package kernel-2.6.27.9-163.fc10.x86_64 (which is newer than 
kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64) is already installed
  package kernel-2.6.28-0.131.rc8.git4.fc11.x86_64 (which is newer 
than kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64) is already installed
