I used to use kmod-nvidia(-PAE) and what I used to do was:
yum check-update

Then if there was a kernel but no kmod update listed then I did an
update excluding the kernel -

Later in the day do it again and if the kmod is then available do a
complete update -
Is that so difficult?

I also used to use akmod-nvidia and found after some trial and error
that there was no -PAE version whereas there was a -PAE version of
kmod-nvidia-PAE so one had to be a little careful about exactly which
package to use!

Hope this helps.
