From the documentation ([http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro\_installation.html#latest-release-via-yum](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html#latest-release-via-yum)): We’ve changed how the Ansible community packages are distributed. For users of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux version 7, the Ansible community RPM package will transition from the EPEL repository to the Extras channel. There will be no change for version 6 of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux since Extras is not a part of version 6. ---

The Ansible packages moved to the Extras repsitory for RHEL 7 and are no longer in EPEL. See the [installation docs](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html#latest-release-via-yum) for details.
