I tried yum update kernel kernel-devel --enablerepo=updates-testing.  
The command does not upgrade the kernel.

I also tried adding the following to /etc/yum.conf:
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
