No, it's yum bug: The kernel was removed in Fedora's repo and now yum
is upset to find kmdls for that kernel. There is a plugin that fixes
this behaviour.

Currently Fedora withdraws kernels too fast, e.g. updates only
contains one kernel. So the moment a new kernel gets into the repo you
get the old obsolted and yum is confused. It would be nice if Fedora
would keep at least two kernels (the latest may have some regression
after all) and also fix yum.
