How can I avoid errors from Software Updates trying to update old kernel versions?

I receive the following error message from the Software Updates function in Open Suse Leap:
There is no update candidate for kernel-default-devel-5.14.21-150500.55.68.1.x86_64kernel-devel and kernel-default-devel, both to version 5.14.21-150500.53.2`. However YasT package management, under Multiversion packages, tells me that I only have 55.65 and 55.68 installed; these are also the only versions explicitly mentioned in my boot menu.
I have to manually exclude these two packages for the rest of the updates to succeed. What can I do to:
* avoid these messages,
* ensure that my updates work normally,
* (avoid messing up my bootloader), and
* if desirable, clean up any detritus from my system?
I forget why I installed these `-devel` packages, but I think it may have been because they provided files needed to build some software — or even out of simple curiosity.
## Listings
(I am sorry about the German in some of these listings; I have several languages installed, and for some reason it often uses German instead of English!)
