yum module not able to find package

I’m running into an issue with ansible-playbook/yum module where the yum module isn’t able to find a package that I can find manually. This issue ‘goes away’ if I install the package manually. Has anyone experienced this behavior, or has any suggestions as to why my setup fails?
