Yeah, there are differences, mostly caused by the fact that the kernel is special and generally isn't upgraded, but rather installed, and it won't start running immediately after the upgrade, but rather only after a reboot. But solving this would require rpm to introduce means to test requirements not only on installed kernels, but also on the running kernel. And those would be useful, since there might be cases in which one really needs to be running a newer kernel to be able to complete the update of another package.
