I just wanted to add that it's possible to select a specific version in 
a kickstart file. Though, as far as I know, it's a revisor-only feature.

You can run revisor and add the --kickstart-exact-nevra option then:

    --kickstart-exact-nevra
Force Revisor to interpret the package manifest as complete package 
nevra (name, epoch, version, release and architecture).
Implies --kickstart-exact

'yum install revisor' should do the trick [1]. ;)
