Yum update tries to install an old kernel

I should start by saying that my knowledge of Fedora is limited although I'm reasonably familiar with other Linux OSes.

I have installed Fedora 17 RC2 on my Raspberry Pi and it works very well.
I use Hexxeh's rpi-update to keep the firmware, which includes the kernel, up to date.

Now, running 'uname -r' gives me '3.6.11+'

However, when I run
Code:

sudo yum update
the output tells me
Code:

Installing:
 raspberrypi-kernel armv5tel 3.2.27-1.20120926git9245b4c.rpfr17  rasp-pi  12 M

If I say Yes to this suggestion, the update fails because of the following Transaction Check Error
Code:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /boot/kernel.img from install of raspberrypi-kernel-3.2.27-1.20120926git9245b4c.rpfr17.armv5tel conflicts with file from package raspberrypi-kernel-3.1.9-11.20120727gitf958199.rpfr17.armv5tel

But the installed kernel is 3.6.11+ and there is no modules directory in /usr/lib/modules other than 3.6.11+

Why is Yum insisting on installing an outdated kernel?
