My bet - it has not. I had the same problem here, but I use internal yum
server - until I removed all the older kernel packages, the latest one
was ignored by yum-arch. But my yum server runs quite an old version of
yum, so I thought it may be just because of this.

And actually this is the second time it happens - first time it was with
php upgrade couple of weeks ago.

General question: why keep older packages in the yum repo, if you can't
install it through yum anyway, only the latest one?

Just my 2 cents
