As it should be if you have not built any SRPMS locally.

You are confusing Fedora 4 with EL4.  The latest updated CentOS SRPMS
are at

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.src.rpm

The single digit release number, $releasever in yum configs, always
points to the current version - as of now 4.4.

The original 4.4 kernel is at

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm
