Urgh.

I just did (over a longish time following Corona, but anyway):

  yum update --exclude=autofs    # Plus other conflicting pieces
  # Reboot into new kernel...
  rpm -e <old-kernel>
  yum -y update
  # Reboot again, rock&roll

(BTW, I'm usually running Linus' git kernels on my SPARC Ultra 1, so I did
have another fallback).
