I can confirm this!
I tried
yum install mkinitrd and it said nothing to do, any pointers??
The problem is, that the kernel requires a newer version of mkinitrd,
which is not available. If it was, yum would have upgraded it without
complaints. So it doesn't help, if you manually upgrade mkinitrd.
You can exclude the kernel upgrade, in order to at least update the rest
of the packages.
yum -y --exclude="kernel*" update
Wait until, the newer version of mkinitrd is available in the repository!
