[Yum] How to get less than the very best?

If (as I can see from the fedora-updates repository for FC6 at the moment) there exist 
two generations of the kernel:
  kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686
and
  kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6.i686,
how do I get yum to download and install *.2948.*?

I can explicitly specify until I'm blue in the keyboard and get told it "don't exist"
even though I can see it on the web page.

If I enter:
  # yum list available kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6.i686 kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686
I only get returned:
  Available Packages
  kernel.i686                              2.6.20-1.2952.fc6      krnlrpms

My reason for wanting to do this is there are ancillary *-kmdl-* packages that don't
exist (yet?) for the 2952 release that have been built for the 2948 release and I'm still
on 2944, so I'd kinda like to move along.

I need a clue.

Craig.
