The latest version is chosen, so your "custom" kernel needs to have a higher
version than the one available in the official Fedora repositories. It can be
either really be newer or if I'm not mistaking have a higher Epoch which is
more important than the version.
A workaround would be to create your own custom repository with all the
required packages including that kernel, and then using only that repository. I
create it like this from my local cache:
mkdir -p /tmp/local-repo/packages
ln -s /var/cache/dnf/*/packages/*.rpm /tmp/local-repo/packages/
createrepo_c -o /tmp/local-repo --skip-stat --changelog-limit 1 \
--compress-type gz --general-compress-type gz --checksum
md5sum \
-g
/var/cache/dnf/fedora-d02ca361e1b58501/repodata/gen/groups.xml \
/tmp/local-repo
Hope this helps,
Cristian Ciupitu
