Nope - when yum installs a new version - it doesn't 'touch/change' the older/other versions of the kernel. (so they continue to work - if you reboot to them) However - once you start using non-FC custom kernels - you might want to use 'exclude=kernel' in your yum.conf - and manage kernel updates manually.
