You need to update your lksctp-tools RPM first, then update the kernel:
up2date lksctp-tools
up2date kernel-whatever
up2date does occasionally have issues with this type of circular
dependency. You might also bugzilla that with the fine folk at Red Hat
to warn them of it.

I tried that and I seem to be stuck.

The following packages you requested are already updated:
lksctp-tools
Typing up2date -kernel-2.6.9 starts the graphical version of up2date and I get the error about lksctp-tools. if I type up2date -u I get the following:

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
lksctp-tools-1.0.2-6.4E.1 conflicts with kernel >= 2.6.10

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I figured it out. Between semesters I was playing around with the fedora core 4 kernel and installed it and after I played around I removed the info in grub about it but never uninstalled it. Since it was a newer kernel than the 2.6.9 up2date didn't want to install the older one. I did the rpm -e command to uninstall the FC4 kernel and the new RHEL kernel installed and everything is up to date now. Thanks for your time.
