Use the -ivh option instead of -Uvh (install as opposed to upgrade) and you will have both on your system. Grub can be set up to allow you to choose the kernel at boot time.
In fact, that's pretty much what grub is all about. If you install a kernel rpm with -ivh, it should even get automatically configured in grub for you.
