We test the kernels before we put them in the repo.  It isn't perfect,
but we certainly aren't just throwing builds over the wall.

Peter covered the basics of why this isn't feasible in his reply.
I'll point out that you can typically download kernels from any Fedora
release and run them on any Fedora userspace.  We add conflicts and
Requires where appropriate to help for the rare time a kernel would
not work on a certain userspace.

To be honest, I'd really love to decouple kernel builds from Fedora
release repos entirely.  However, our tools don't really work that
way, so it isn't possible.  Users can download them from koji or the
various release repo though.
