Appending to the rpm's release makes the release always newer, so the
scenario you describe shouldn't happen.

Maybe you upgraded an XFS 18 to a non-XFS 19 release? That could
happen. If you want to avoid that you need to change the naming
convention rather radically, e.g. kernel-sgixfs-2.4.20-18.9 to stay
with the above example.
