You could make sure you are running on the kernel you want to keep as yum won't remove
the running kernel.

Yum is configured to keep 3 kernels. If you remove the middle one 3.2.5 manually, when yum
runs it shouldn't remove any kernels since you only have 2. Alternately, you can
configure yum to keep more than 3 kernels. But that will take up more disk space
unnecessarily.
