I don't know if I will get this exactly right but I will give it a
shot:
1. kernel-*.src.rpm - a source form of the kernel which can be
compiled using rpmbuild to produce a particular binary kernel.

2. kernel-devel-*.rpm - gives you the modules to allow you to compile
a customized kernel of that kernel version but tailored to your
specific needs.
