Had to use a combination of CLI and Yum Extender to fix it. Here's how I did it: 1) Boot to previous kernel version 2) Use Yum Extender to specifically remove newest kernel (including kernel-devel, kernel-headers, and kernel-firmware) 3) Exit Yum Extender and launch CLI, and switch user to root 4) As root, run "package-cleanup --cleandupes" to fix issues with failed updates 5) Re-launch Yum Extender, and install updated kernel packages, which pulls the current kmod-nvidia packages alone with them for dependency resolution 6) Reboot on new kernel At least that seems to have worked for me...
