It doesn't say the kernel source isn't available, it says the "kernel-source package" isn't available. And that's a reference to the "binary" package called "kernel-source" that used to be available in FC2 and older releases, not the kernel.src.rpm, which has always been available and is now, quite rightly, the only kernel source package that's now supplied.
