The problem with yum is that for the very first time a kmdl's parent is installed (the non-kmdl parts, e.g. simply nvidia-graphicsXXXX) yum sees that it needs one kmdl out of many available on the repo and chooses one randomly. If you're lucky you already had the matching kernel otherwise it will be pulled down. This only happens the very first time, though. Later the yum-plugin-kmdl takes care of installing the kmdl only for the kernels you have installed or are doing so in the same yum command. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
