"185.18.31" is not a package, but a package version.

All that I can see is that you have some mis-matched files, or, a
185.18.14 and a 185.18.31 file and akmod-nvidia is picking the wrong
one.


yum list installed xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*
yum list installed kmod-nvidia*
yum list installed akmod-nvidia

yum deplist kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64.x86_64 might tell
you something

I would clean everything out and start over

yum remove kmod-nvidia* akmod-nvidia
 
yum install kmod-nvidia* akmod-nvidia
 
Or just try
yum reinstall kmod-nvidia* akmod-nvidia
