No - Livna is doing a bad job.

They only ship nvidia rpms for the latest kernels and miss to build them
for older one.

They seem to miss that during attempting a kernel update, people have
older kernels installed and therefore can't update without Livna
shipping nvidia-drivers for both the older and the kernels.

Check this list's archive, I posted a remedy to work around this issue
recently.
