I went through all this, and now that I have kmod-nvidia-340xx 
installed, but have you executed yum update or yum list updates?
If you do then yum  will want up upgrade you to the latest and greatest 
kmod-nvidia-346xx.
So other than modifying yum to exclude the nvidia driver how do you 
prevent the update in the future?

rpm -qa | grep nvidia
nvidia-detect-346.35-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340.65-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-340.65-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

Output from yum list updates
Updated Packages
kmod-nvidia.x86_64                    346.35-1.el6.elrepo                 elrepo
nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64                 346.35-1.el6.elrepo                 elrepo
