Yes, "yum update" will install a new version of the kernel for your
architecture, if appropriate.  The existing version of your kernel will
be left alone and available for selection in the grub boot menu.

I personally don't use the yum -y option; I prefer to know what yum
intends to do before it goes and does it.
