That's normal. I'm not sure if the kernel-headers package contains *any*
CPU instructions -- they certainly don't need a particular processor to
work, so are considered i386.

It shouldn't be a directory, it should be a symbolic link ("symlink"),
pointing somewhere like /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i386/ -- use
ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/
to check. It may be a "dangling symlink" -- that directory may not
exist.

If so, try running 
yum install /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i386
which should find and install the correct package

Hope this helps,

James.
