unwanted kernel

As instructed in the Fedora 7 installation guide, I inserted the line
exclude kernel=* kernel-doc kernel-source kernel-smp*debuginfo*
in my yum.conf file. (It's not on one line in this message on my screen, but it is in the file. Anyway, when I do
yum update
it promises to install
kernel i686 2.6.22-133.fc7 updates 16 M
again, all on one line.
I'm appending the text of my yum.conf in case I did something wrong here, but the line looks to me just like in the installation guide.
I actually seem to have installed this other kernel doing
yum update -y
on Friday: there were new lines in my grub.conf. Luckily, I rebooted without a problem, and eventually removed the thing. Still, I thought the exclude line was meant to prevent just this problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Al
