i'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but on my fully-updated

_How_ did you install it?
should all
kernel-related packages not be kept in sync?
They are in sync. Unless you've found a download mirror that offers
*-debuginfo repos which are out-of-date.
or am i just misunderstanding something here?
Probably. The *-debuginfo repos are disabled by default, and for
the "updates" repo there is the corresponding "updates-debuginfo"
repo.
If you don't use the debuginfo-install command, you need to enable
the needed -debuginfo repos yourself.
