That's true if you are getting the package for the currently running
system, and it is how I get src.rpm packages on F15.  But doing that on
F14 will not get an F15 package.  The OP is running F14 and wants newer
kernels.  I didn't, however, check whether yumdownloader has an option
like yum to set other repositories while dowloading.  There could be,
and in that case your suggestion will work with a little tweaking.
