I have the default kernel installed also:

Is that kernel OK? What does rpm -V kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.3 tell you?
Shouldn't the kernel-headers and document number be the same as the kernel-source number? Not necessary. If true, they weren't updated by the update.
Because it isn't. They did not need to be updated. I either read that here or the security list.
How do I update the linux-kernel-headers-2.6.18.2-3? Do they need to be updated?
They are not the problem and they are ok as is.
How do I get the system to use the default kernel?
If booting from GRUB with that option doesn't work, make sure that kernel is still there in /lib/modules, and check (via above command) if rpm sees a problem with the installed files. It should work if those all check out. To make it default, you can either change the default in /boot/grub/menu.lst to 1, or use Yast2, System, Bootloader module and set it as the default.
ps I don't know if this matters but three files in /boot/ have 'Unknown' File Type: backup_mbr, @vmlinux and vmlinux-2.6.18.8-0.3-default
