Sounds like a 'broken' install.
You could try 'yum reinstall <pkg>'
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos...ckage-command/ .
Alternatively, remove and (re-)install the latest.
Rpm does have a --force option as well, but I'd keep that for last resort.

Repairing corrupt install of epel-release
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epe...-14.noarch.rpm
I.e. the current version is epel-release-7-14.noarch
You can either download the above package, and install with
Code:
# yum install Downloads/epel-release-7-14.noarch.rpm
... or reinstall with
Code:
# yum reinstall epel-release
to get the old version ........ and then update with
Code:
# yum install epel-release
