Nope.  You're running kernel version 2.6.22.5-76-fc7, but the sources
that you installed are for version 2.6.22.5-85.fc7.  (ie. you're
running ...76... but you've got the source to ...85....)

There's two options, as I see it:

 1) update your kernel to 2.6.22.5-85-fc7
 2) downgrade the kernel-devel package to 2.6.22.5-76-fc7

I'd probably choose option 1, but if your system is running fine,
there's probably no need to upgrade the kernel.  Either way, I don't
know what commands you need to issue because I run Gentoo, not Fedora.
 If no one here offers up the solution, the answer is probably in man
rpm.

PS note that, if you choose option 1, updating the kernel requires a
reboot to switch from the old kernel to the new one.
