Installing new kernel always puts new Fedora entry at the top of GRUB menu, despite my custom menu entry

I have a custom GRUB menu entry that I want to always appear at the top of the GRUB menu. This menu entry lives in /etc/grub.d/09_FIRST, so that it should appear before 10_linux. However, whenever I install system updates that include a new kernel, the new Fedora entry gets bumped to the top of the GRUB menu, until I manually run grub2-mkconfig. It was my understanding that installing a new kernel should run grub2-mkconfig --- so what's going on here?

My system:

  • Fedora 26 Workstation x86_64 with UEFI motherboard
  • grub2-2.02-0.46.fc26
  • latest kernel: 4.12.5
↪  cat /etc/default/grub
