It's
rpm -e --justdb <name-of-kernel-package>
To find out what is the RPM package name of the kernel installed, you could do
rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz
E.g.
hartmut@dhcppc0:~> rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz
kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7
And then (you must be user "root" to do the next step)
rpm -e --justdb kernel-default
Greetings from Stuhr
