I see the same thing here on the two Fedora 10 machines
which have fedora-updates-testing and rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing
enabled. I think it may be a bug in yum where the newer kernels
that appear in fedora-updates aren't ignored if a higher version
kernel is already installed from fedora-updates-testing.

On a slightly different issue, the kmod-nvidia in
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing needs to be updated
to 180.60 for the 2.6.29.6-93.fc10 kernel currently in
fedora-updates-testing. There is currently a mismatch
between the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
installed from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates and the
kmod-nvidia installed from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing...
