Red Hat upgraded the libvirt provided in 7.5 from 3.2.0 to 3.9.0, but
they don't provide a Xen driver, which is the reason you are seeing the
dependency issue.
A 4.1.0 release of libvirt is currently in testing, along with other
updates to deal with CentOS 7.5 changes. You also need to exclude the
seabios updates because HVM guests cannot boot using the new Red Hat
version.
The best workaround for now is probably to either set up
yum-plugin-priorities and set a high priority on the centos-virt-xen*
repo, or exclude=libvirt* seabios* in your base and updates repos.
