Yes, it's because the old RPM is still installed, so RPM does not know
that you have cunningly upgraded your kernel without telling it. ;-)
If you want to do everything the RedHat way, you'd have to installed
the RedHat RPM, then the RPM database will be fine. But most people
compile kernels from source. It doesn't matter that the rpm query
shows an old kernel version - the `uname` is proof enough that the new
kernel is running.

Do it the same way - download a patch for the next kernel, patch the
kernel and compile, install etc. as detailed in the Kernel-HOWTO and
/usr/src/linux/README.
