as noted in the changelog... the switch has to happen at somepoint
before the final freeze..it happens every test cycle.

'clobber' is ill-defined.  
Do you mean that up2date uninstalls old kernels? that shouldn't be happening.
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date:
what does pkgsToInstallNotUpdate= line read?

Do you mean that up2date makes the new kernel the default? The correct
thing to do in this situation is debatable... but more importantly
logic has been added in the mkinitrd package to use
/etc/sysconfig/kernel file to define local policy in regard to
default.
