rpm -q queries the installed rpm database for the package and
obviously fails to find the new kernel. Most people copile their own
kernels from the source, so tarballs are fine, and uname -r shows
that.

Next time you decide on a kernel upgrade, it is not necesssary to
download the whole stuff. You can just get the kernel patch that will
upgrade your present kernel to the required version. Just apply the
patch, recompile the kernel and you are done.
