Thanks for the reply! Would you, by any chance, have a suggestion on how to avoid this behavior?

Is there anything I can do so that when I do a yum install, it will always, and only, install the latest version of a certain package?

you will need to provide somehow directly the epel-release package shipped by Fedora, bypassing the one from Centos. For instance by using something similar to

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel//7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-10.noarch.rpm IMNSHO it would be less elegant that just using yum install followed by yum update, pointing directly to repos is well... meh :)

FWIW, there is a stable link to the latest epel-release linked on the main EPEL page¹:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

And a similar package for EPEL-6.
