I've been looking for what would create an updated entry for the rescue

If you delete the rescue kernel and initramfs, the next installed kernel
will create new ones for that kernel.
Found a page that said kernel-install is the script that does it.
It has some parameters, and looked at the /lib/modules directory, but it
has no entries for the rescue kernel, but has a lot of directories for
outdated kernels??
The rescue kernel is not special. It's the initramfs that's special in
that it contains drivers for everything, not just the ones that are
needed to boot. So if you change the hardware to something not
supported by the current set of drivers, you can still use the rescue
boot option to startup.
Are these directories just left over from a process that should have
removed them?

Yes. What is in them? Usually that's caused by having an out-of-tree
driver installed which doesn't always get cleaned up automatically.
