The driver version has been updated and for some reason the packages
won't update quite right.  There is no physical package
nvidia-kmod-common.  Simple fix: remove the old driver and then
reinstall it:
# yum remove kmod-nvidia
# yum install kmod-nvidia

That should get it working.  And if you are going to switch to the new
driver without rebooting, be sure to "rmmod nvidia" (the old driver in
memory) before restarting X or you will be wondering why you are
getting version mismatch errors like I did : ).
