Paint Issues
jennifer:
It would be my guess here that since you didn't let the base fully cure, the solvent of the krylon reacted. What this means is the paints
are incompatible, possibly would have done this even if you would have let the base dry. Very light coats of krylon over a dry base may work,
if you allow everything to dry between coats. To fix what you have there, Jennifer would let it dry completely than wipe the krylon off the base
with a wet thinner rag.... drying immediately after saturation [wipe,dry] move to different area [wipe,dry] let dry repeate as nessary.
If the curdle extends into the base color, your bet would be strip the cabinet and start over, or scape off curdle re prime that area lightly
sand and try again.

Thanks for the info. I believe I didn't let the base coat fully cure. I am going to let it sit for a week or so before I attempt the second color on the sides. I have also considered rolling the yellow coat with rustoleum safety yellow.

Make sure you don't have too much moisture in your basement as well, as that could affect your curing times significantly.
Afterburner:
If this isn't already resolved, check to make sure your paints are the same types. Are they all acrylic? Enamel? Polyurethane? If you have different types, that can cause the crackle effect you saw.
If they are all the same brand and type of paint, then as others have said, you likely didn't allow the coats to dry well enough between coats. Latex and Acrylic cure up fairly fast. Both Enamel and Polyurethane based paints can take several days to fully harden even after they have dried to the touch.
