There's no "wrong" or "right". It's just one way to do it (not mine).
But of course, it can be the way for others. It's perfectly fine to build a
kernel by using rpm an manage it using yum, but it's not what I
prefer.

I install my kernel using "make install", and remove it by deleting
the sourcetree, kernel & co. in /boot and its modules in
/lib/modules/. It's what fits best for me.
