Yes a yum clean all on the notebook that did not get the kernel is now 
not only getting the kernel but also: cups and enscript.

So I had some problems here. The metadata or dbcache? This is my 
notebook, and when I am away at conferences, I change my source of 
update and base to the mirrors, and when I get back I change back to my 
local repo. That might be why it got lost? I guess I should add a 'yum 
clean all' whenever I make these changes....

But I guess you did not announce the kernel, but anyone pulling the 
updates locally would be getting them?
