"Versions 5.4 or 5.6" - Those represent the version of the distribution release, not the kernel.
E.g.: You can have 3 different machines running RHEL 4, 5, 6 respectively, and use the same kernel in all of them.
If you install the package named "kernel-..." it will indeed install a newer kernel but the previous one will not be removed or overwritten. You can have as many kernels as you want but only one will be in use at any given time.
