Available Packages
python2-crypto.x86_64       2.6.1-13.el7   epel
python2-crypto.x86_64       2.6.1-15.el7   rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
python34-crypto.x86_64      2.6.1-13.el7   epel

If this is a "limited arch package", shouldn't the release have 0. prefix as 
well?

Available Packages
python-paramiko.noarch         2.1.1-2.el7   rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
python2-paramiko.noarch        1.16.1-2.el7  epel
python34-paramiko.noarch       1.16.1-2.el7  epel

I think you're correct.
