The kernel-source rpm constains the sources used to compile the kernel
packages in all four flavors. The specific config file used to compile each
of those flavors (mdk, mdkfb, mdksmp, and mdksecure) is in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-<version>, placed there when you installed the kernel
binary rpm.
A new kernel-sources rpm becomes available with each new kernel build (as
always). And it, in and of itself, is not guaranteed to match the
configuration of the binary you installed unless you use the config file
that came with the binary.
