Some more bad, drbd kernel modules naming convention off:

Inside the plus repository there are drbd kernel modules for the standard kernels and the plus kernels.
Inside the centosplus repos there are also xfs kernel modules for both the standard and plus kernels.
The naming convention concerning %dist for certain files, is that upstream is ever chancing their %dist. In this newest incarnation, they are going to use:
.el4 and .el5
So, centos wants to use .el4.centos and .el5.centos (in the past, we did use .centos or .c4 or .centos4) the %dist should have no real effect on anything ... or maybe I am missing the point of the question.
One thing to remember after major changes is that it takes some finite amount of time for all external mirrors to update ... maybe the one you were using has the standard kernel but the plus kernel (shipped some 12 hours or so later) had not made it there yet.
I am using the i686-plus kernel and drbd modules on 8 drbd clusters without any issues that I can see.
