This isn't yum's fault, this is just what happens when you use rawhide -
some packages get pushed out before their dependecies are properly met.
This has been mentioned over and over again, and should probably be part
of the Release Notes or something for test releases.

yum --exclude=$package1 --exclude=$package2 $command will allow you to
update everything else but the kernel. Here, looking at what it's asking
for reveals that you have old kernel modules that haven't been updated
for the latest kernel release, so yum --exclude=kernel update.
