Not being a kmod-nvidia user I guess that either old kmod-nvidia packages
don't get removed when new kernels are installed, or this isn't done by
fedup when upgrading to the F20 kernels.

Strange dependency. Did it really say that?
The package hasn't been updated to use libsidplayfp, so I recommend you
remove it. There are other players to listen to SID music.

Is it? It's normal that _some_ packages have not been rebuilt for F20
and still contain the ".fc19" dist tag.
