yum won't uninstall the currently running kernel, so if you always boot 
a specific kernel it won't be uninstalled.

Also the number of kernels yum keeps is controlled by the value of 
installonly_limit /etc/yum.conf (3 by default), if you set it to 0 yum 
won't uninstall older kernels at all. You can do that for now (and 
uninstall older kernels manually) until the graphics issue is fixed on 
your system.
