This is normal, and expected. Fedora, like most Linux distros, keeps the three most recent kernels available. This way, if you have trouble booting after a kernel update you have two others that are known to be good. Once you have those three, the oldest will be removed every time a new one is installed.
In order to see the last kernel installed inside "Fedora", you need to regenerate the Grub config file:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Then restart and you will see something like this in Grub menu:
Fedora
Advanced options for Fedora
Windows 8
To be clear, this shows you the recently installed kernels because it completely rewrites your boot configuration, and along the way it detects your kernels. There are probably better ways to list the installed kernels, but this is the best way to automatically rebuild your boot menu

these last kernel, don't work for me, i must use 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 but ever want to start my system with 3.9.5
If only the oldest kernel works, try this in a terminal as root, without the quotes: "yum remove kernel*" because yum will never remove the running kernel. (I know, because I''ve had to do it.) Also, note that I didn't specify -y because you'll want to look at what's being removed and make sure it's doing what you want.
