The root cause is the /etc/yum.conf file. you need to manually update "releasever=2017.03" with "releasever=latest"
& yum update. I was able to obtain a newer version of the kernel but it is still behind and vulnerable...

Remote package installed : kernel-4.9.51-10.52.amzn1
Should be : kernel-4.9.58-18.51.amzn1
