The .EL means it's the enterprise kernel.

Anaconda is the installer for both Fedora Core and RHEL.  There are many
packages that are common to both since Fedora Core is the proving ground
for RHEL.  The package versions do differ slightly between the two -
you'll likely find features in the RHEL kernel that haven't been
backported to the Fedora Core kernel that the particular RHEL release
based on and instead were incorporated into the latest Fedora Core
kernel.

To differentiate Enterprise Kernel from Fedora, cat /etc/redhat-release.
