I think you need to pick a version.  For nvidia-graphics you need something 
like:

yum update nvidia-graphics9631

or

yum update nvidia-graphics9746

It depends on which chipset nVidia card you have.  Check the nVidia site to 
find out which version goes with which chipsets.

The same should apply for kernel updates.  Try:

yum list kernel*

to get a list of available kernels and pick one if you want to update the 
kernel (though in this case it doesn't sound like you do).

HTH!
