If you don't give it time to recompile the driver after the yum update and before a reboot, things can be in a confusing state and it won't recompile after the boot. (At least that is what I have observed).
I always run "top" after a yum update and wait till all the compilation and rpm activity disappears before I type "reboot".
If you install akmod-nvidia again, it will probably update the driver at that time and you'll be back to normal.
I'm using dnf (forgot to mention this is F22) but presumably the same applies. However I did let some time pass before rebooting, not because I was waiting for a recompilation but it just happened that way. I also tried removing and reinstalling akmod-nvidia and it made no difference.
In any case I would have expected the update not to complete until the module had finished recompiling.
