The latest CentOS kernels are (sorted by date):

[...]
2.6.18-164.el5
2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.plus
2.6.18-164.el5.plus
2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
2.6.18-164.6.1.el5
2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.centos.plus
2.6.18-164.9.1.el5.centos.plus
2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
2.6.18-164.10.1.el5
2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.centos.plus

So you are actually quite a bit behind, which makes your system
vulnerable as most non-plus updates are security ones. Make sure you
update against a fresh CentOS mirror, maybe you are using an old stale
one?
(BTW the latest RHEL kernel is "164.11.1.el5", so it's likely that
there will also be a "164.11.1.el5" CentOS kernel quite soon)
