Narrative:
Radar controller verbally coordinated with ZKC for both aircraft. Aircraft #1 was then given an altitude below what was coordinated (FL290 was coordinated but FL260 was issued). Aircraft were in ZKC airspace before conflict alert activated and we were notified. Aircraft #2 was level at FL280.
