That's not yet enough, it was shown last year, that any scheme not
having the uname -r in the name of the package (the rpm name as in
contrast to the rpm version/release) can only support the very latest
kernel.
But ATrpms has kmdls (w/ the uname -r in name) and a yum plugin that
simply work. Check that out, if you like.

I'm sorry to say that you are not correct. Or, at least, I don't
think so. Perhaps yum is better than it was, or the openafs spec file
is different than you recall.
The only change in openafs.spec that I made was inserting this:
rovides: kernel-modules = %{kernvers}
I rebuilt the openafs-kernel packages for 2 kernels and uploaded them
to my yum server, and when I update my machine, it did an install, not
an upgrade, of openafs-kernel when I ran "yum update". Observe
# rpm -q openafs-kernel
openafs-kernel-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2944.fc6_3fc6pj
openafs-kernel-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2948.fc6_3fc6pj
My RPMs are named:
openafs-kernel-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2944.fc6_3fc6pj.i686.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.4-2.6.20_1.2948.fc6_3fc6pj.i686.rpm
