If you want to download the source of any package, just use:

yumdownloader --source <package-name>

To download the source for your current kernel:

yumdownloader --source kernel

You will have a source RPM package. You can then use rpm2cpio and cpio to get the sources including everything else in the package:

rpm2cpio <kernel-SRPM-name> | cpio -ivd

However, if you want the upstream kernel sources, you may be just better off downloading it from http://kernel.org.
