Why does grub.conf have last installed kernel as default instead of latest installed version as default ?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • After snapshot rollback RHN Satellite installed an older version of kernel. System already had a higher version of kernel installed. Still why does grub.conf have the recently installed kernel as default ?
  • Why is grub.conf file not modified to make newer/higher version kernel to boot by default after rollback ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Network Satellite 5.5
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
