The installonly means it will only *install* (as in, along with the
other package versions), and not *upgrade* (as in, that would be the
only version of the package).

I believe what you are seeing is yum removing the oldest kernels (older
than the last two releases on your computer, not counting what kernel
your booted up with), and leaving the latest two (or something to that
effect).
