My question is: kernel 2.6.18-92.1.13 is now the oldest one present

Only files directly owned by the kernel will get removed when the
kernel rpm is removed from your machine; which, as a policy holds true
for any rpm. This is one of the many reasons why packagers are
encouraged to list-and-own specific components and not complete
directory tree's when they setup the spec files.
My concern came from the fact that xfs.ko belongs to the kmod-xfs
package and older versions kmod-xfs had a dependency on a kernel version
and would be removed by yum when that kernel was removed. I guess that
the latest kmod-xfs-0.4-2 does not; which I suppose I could have checked
for myself in the first place.
