OK, I made a fool of myself for too quickly reading the docs.
So we can't ask anything more of Red Hat as they do not provide the 
RPMs that contain the needed triggers (in this case the NVidia RPM).

As a conclusion to this thread, one can add an empty RPM package that 
contains a section like:

%triggerin -- kernel
for i in /etc/kernelupdate.d/*.sh; do
	if [ -r "$i" ]; then
		. "$i"
	fi
done

and have the scripts in /etc/kernelupdate.d/ be run anytime a new 
kernel package is installed.
