That seems reasonable.  I think the lesson that your admin should learn 
is that if they want to lock something down, do it from the start.  It 
sounds like he probably install kmod-nvidia first, then locked the repo 
down not to get other packages.  If he'd applied the filter from the 
beginning, it would have had to be correct to install the module.
