As I understand it, downgrade still requires the original rpm. So it
first looks in the local yum cache, if not available looks for it on the
repo.

That said, maybe the Fedora repos can keep more than one (say 2-3)
versions of the kernel in case some users need to downgrade and don't
have it in their cache?
