my situation is this:
rpm -qa|grep kernel
gives:
kernel-smp-2.6.14-1.1771_FC5
kernel-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5
kernel-smp-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5
kernel-2.6.14-1.1771_FC5
in the local directory ls -1 kernel*
kernel-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5.i586.rpm
kernel-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5.i686.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5.i586.rpm

kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.12-1.13_FC5.i686.rpm
kernel-xen-hypervisor-devel-2.6.12-1.13_FC5.i686.rpm
command
yum localupdate *rpm
at the end I have:

Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5 is already installed package kernel-smp-2.6.14-1.1773_FC5 is already installed
It seems yum is not able to manage where multiple versions of kernel are installed
I would expect a message like "nothing to be updated".
