Well, for n00bies like you, it is not advised to compile the kernel by yourself

just do

sudo yum -y update kernel

Stick with 2.6.18!

2.6.19 comes with new ATA code and might become headache for you. Let it mature a bit...

Here's the answer. Desertwind has already given it.
You will only get the latest version that is made available by the developers. If you want a newer version you will have to compile it manually.
