Prior to the upgrade, I saw it if I ran "yum list updates".

[root at issola root]# yum list updates | grep -i kernel
kernel                              i586   2.6.1-1.65               upgrade
[root at issola root]# pre yum
yum-2.0.5-1

However, when I ran "yum upgrade", it did not install the
kernel. Should I have run "yum update"?

No.
