VirtualBox in not dependent on kernel version at install time.
The modules are built for whatever kernel you are currently running.

You might try to yum remove VirtualBox and then yum install.
Since you have dkms installed. It should register the modules with dkms so
with future kernel updates the modules will get compiled.

Currently the VirtualBox version is the same from either 
rpmfusion-free-updates or virtualbox repos.
