You should have used:

  rpm -q vixie-cron-3.0.1-46.3mdk

Or simply:

  rpm -q vixie-cron

The latter form is not documented well enough in the man page, and it took
me quite a while to realise that it works :(

And if you don't remember the package name, you can try some variation of:

  rpm -qa |grep cron
