A simple yum update produced this:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: upstart-sysvinit-1.2-2.fc14.i686 (@updates/14)
            Requires: upstart = 1.2-2.fc14
            Removing: upstart-1.2-2.fc14.i686 (@updates/14)
                upstart = 1.2-2.fc14
            Updated By: upstart-1.2-4.fc16.i686 (fedora)
                upstart = 1.2-4.fc16
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
kernel-headers-3.1.2-1.fc16.i686 is a duplicate with 
kernel-headers-2.6.35.14-106.fc14.i686
systemd-37-3.fc16.i686 has installed conflicts upstart-sysvinit: 
upstart-sysvinit-1.2-2.fc14.i686
upstart-sysvinit-1.2-2.fc14.i686 has installed conflicts 
systemd-sysvinit: systemd-37-3.fc16.i686

That explains why the kernel didn't update; I'll need to do a little 
more cleaning out before trying again.  I'm reporting this, partially, 
in case anybody else on the list has a similar issue.
