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.

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:
[root at Davids-RHEL ~]# up2date -u

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
