It would make more sense to just download the updated ISOs from rhn..

You have to go through the complete rebuild process to swap out
packages.  To answer your question, on that release the version
numbers get added when you run when you run
genhdlist --withnumbers.

Another easier way would be to just install the new kernel in the
%post part of the kickstart.
