No it is not that easy.
When you ran the installation the first time and selected 4.20, the 4.20 rpms were the 
only ones installed.
You could use mcc to manly change to 3.36 but it is easier and faster to just run an 
upgrade install.

Start the installation.
Choose Upgrade, Expert mode.
It will spend a couple of mins looking for pkgs to upgrade.
You need not select any pkgs, just click OK.
You can skip the network and printer configuration.
You will need to let it install the bootloader (before accepting I usually select 
modify and remove the entries created as Old since they are just duplicates)
Next configure X selecting your choice, you will be required to insert the appropriate 
CD and then you are done.

The whole process will take only 10min.
