I'm guessing you either switched shells or changed your shell options
because 2.6.2 handles the command you cite in the same way as earlier
versions.  The safest way to go is to quote wild-cards that you don't
want your local shell to (try to) expand:

rsync -auv 'rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.[6420]' /pub/linux/kernel
