AFAIK yum will *never* remove the kernel you are currently running. So
if by your "current kernel" you mean the one you are using, you are safe
from that being removed.

That is hardly likely to be true. What you install is a disk file, what
you are running is in memory. Although, that could be a rule that is
implemented. I just don't know. Does anyone know?
It is true. That's the way yum plugin works. It checks and does not
remove the running kernel.
