no, the problem has nothing to do with what kernel you're running.

pkg_y says:
  I obsolete pkg_x

pkg_x says:
  I obsolete pkg_y

Yum looks through on each update run and says:
  I have pkg_y, does anything obsolete it?
  at which point pkg_x is installed to obsolete pkg_y

Then the next time yum update is run it says:
  I have pkg_x, does anything obsolete it?
  at which point pkg_y is installed to obsolete pkg_x

And over and over and over again.

Does that make explanation clear it up?
