I haven't used fedpkg.  I was actually unaware of it until your post.
But a quick look at the man page suggests that it can build srpm
files.  So, you can go to koji,
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
select the kernel you want, and download the srpm.  Once you have that,
it appears that you can build the srpm using 
fedpkg build --srpm [srpm name]

If the kernel has been built, there will already be a binary rpm there
for the common architectures.  You could forego the build, and just
download and install the binary rpm.
