ummm I may have spoken too soon.. lol. It still does not show the
available update in up2date. I have rebooted the server to verify that
everything has been refreshed. Still there are no options to upgrade the
kernel.. Although initially, you were right, it was in the exceptions list.

You probably have the kernel exempted in the method you are using to do
the update.
up2date normally exempts the kernel ... click on the
Menu -> System Settings -> CentOS Network Settings
Click on the "Package Exceptions" tab ... and remove kernel* from the
"Package Names to Skip" section and save.
Then you can run up2date and upgrade your kernel.
