Like I told you before, I'm not familiarized with rpms but, yes, the name has nothing to do with the kernel version itself. You can name it whatever you want as long as you go through all the compile & install steps as you should and you point the bootloader to the right file.
I think basically what you want should work but look again what abysko00 said:

In SUSE for example you need to delete the old kernel entry from the rpm database, so that the new kernel does not overwrite it.

I don't want to mislead you in any way so for rpms you'd better post in the RedHat forum.
