With the amount of context you’ve given it’s not possible to tell.  
Share the playbook, at least.

Something is wrong with the yum/dnf setup on your host. Perhaps wrong repo(s) configured, exclude patterns, or something like that. In any way not something ansible related but a host problem.  
Once you fixed that it might be a good idea to include that fix in your playbook. Or just start with clean host in known-good state where this works (as it should).
