That kernel update is part of EL 6.1.  Troy Dawson explained how SL
would deal with security updates associated with a new release in this
post:

"Q: When will the kernel that was released with RHEL 6.1 be released as a
security errata kernel?
A: It's possible that we won't release kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6, at
least not for general security errata.
The reason is because the first kernel that comes out with a Minor
release usually causes more problems for older releases than it fixes.
If there is a major security issue and/or nobody finds any update
problems, it's possible that we will release the kernel for general
security errata.  But the odds are that RedHat will release a new kernel
before that happens."
