Hi,

running kernel version is checked on every rhn_check run.
So I did a test
1) register a client with more kernels installed,
2) check the kernel version installed (uname -r) and on webUI
3) reboot with a different kernel
4) check the kernel version installed (uname -r) and on webUI
both on RHEL5 and RHEL6 with stock and nightly client packages.
All four tests passed as expected.

The only mistake which comes on my mind - are you really running on new
kernel rather than just having it installed?
