The later kernel requires a later version of the bfa-firmware package.
If you used yum to install the new kernel, yum would download the latest bfa-firmware package as well, and both packages (bfa-firmware and kernel) would be installed.
To upgrade to this kernel with rpm, you need to download bfa-firmware-3.0.3.1 or later and install that using rpm, then you'll be able install the later kernel package.
