Back when I installed akmod-nvidia, it needed either kernel-devel or kernel-headers, if not both. (It's been several years, so my memory's a tad fuzzy.) However, for whatever reason, it didn't list them as dependencies, which meant that you just had to know about them to get it working right. Is that still true, or has that been corrected?
I don't know, but I assume yum will pull in any and all dependencies required to make it work, including the kernel header packages and the development toolchain for compilation.
On all machines where I had akmod-nvidia installed, I usually also had all that other stuff already installed beforehand, so I am not sure if akmod would drag it in if it weren't already there.
But even if it doesn't work automatically, the OP can always do it like this: yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel yum groupinstall "Development Tools" yum install akmod-nvidia THis is OKThat would probably cover all cases. :-) Also, IIRC, the OP had already installed the nVidia's .run package which also needs all that stuff, so it's likely he already has it all installed.
