Strange. 

Apparently you are missing the grub entries for the new kernels. You
could verify that the kernel packages are not missing anything by doing:

  rpm -V kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma

That will verify the integrity of the package. 

The grub entries are a side effect of scripts that are run within the
package at install time. 

For example in fc4 this will run (other things ommited) right after the
kernel package is installed:

/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install
2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc4.ccrma

"new-kernel-pkg" is a script and amongst other things it adds the kernel
entry to /boot/grub/grub.conf... I don't know what could make it fail to
do that (it seems to be using /sbin/grubby to add it). You can always
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add a suitable entry.
