My educated guess: The update tried to pull in a new kernel. yum found
that you had two already installed and the default is to keep only two
(?). But it couldn't remove the oldest one as it was the running
kernel, so it went on to the next one.

If that's right then there is some bug in yum's installonlyn kernel
logic (if one kernel needs to be skipped it should reduce the number of
to be removed kernels by one, not leave it alone).

I'd say that the rest is expected behaviour: You asked for the legacy
driver that currently points to a version that only offers kmdls for
the latest kernel, so the depsolver had to include that kernel into
the update.

But at least this answers the original question: Yes, the legacy
drivers do support 2.6.25. :)
