It also seems to be incorrect, as: yumdownloader --enablerepo=updates-source --source kernel downloads the kernel SRPM, and I see several kernel SRPMs at <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/ >. So, if I download and install Kernel-2.6.16-1.2111.FC5.src.rpm and I keep it updated, I will regularily have an updated version of the kernel source code, right?
If you perform the update and installation yourself, i.e. write a cron script, the answer is yes; otherwise, no. Yum does not install kernel.src.rpm files (reference bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191564 ).
