"yum > list" and "yum check-update" don't show the 2.6.22 kernel as an update anywhere that I can see so what's the deal?

Later yum-plugin-kmdl will do the right thing (if you have it installed). The reason for the failure you see is that yum is too strict on the repos. As 2.6.22.1-24.fc6 (or some other testing kernel) may be dropped anytime into "updates" and users will want to be able to use the kmdls immediately I need to offer them already in atrpms-stable. yum's behaviour can be fixed by using the yum-skip-broken plugin (or similar named). That plugin makes yum not break when there are unfulfilled dependencies in some repo (either accidentially or intended as in this case). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
