I believe that kernel does work on i586 and it is called i686 to prevent a update path conflict with RPM. There was some discussions in fedora-devel list about this. Dave Jones (CC'ed) should be able to confirm.
I believe that you are correct and that I did not say that correctly. It has been discussed and evidently done that a kernel named i686 would support i586, i686, SMP. All. There are only kernels with i686 in the package name. The kernel-headers have remained named i386.
