If you enable the kernel from the CentOSPlus repo, you should *disable* kernel updates from the standard repo, otherwise yum will get updates from *both* places.  By disabling the kernel packages from being updated from the standard repos (os and updates), yum won't update to a non CentOSPlus kernel -- if the CentOSPlus has not been pushed to the CentOSPlus repo, you just won't get a new kernel at all.  (Eventually when the CentOSPlus does get pushed, yum will pick it up.)

This is best done by using the exclude= option as detailed in:

See Example 2.
