You only have to do "grub2-install /dev/sda" when you install the
system, Anaconda does that for you, or if you mess your grub. And
after that you recreate grub.cfg. When a new kernel is installed, it
automatically recreates the grub.cfg.

If you have to reinstall grub2 at every kernel upgrade that should
probably go to bugzilla.
