I have been facing this in Copr and mock where you was unable to set additional 
repos for project because:
  
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/foo/bar/epel-$releasever-$basearch/
was expanded to {6,7}Server as you stated.

The only solution is to create your own maping and pass it to yum using 
--releasever
In mock I done it that e.g. /etc/mock/epel-6-x86_64.cfg has
  config_opts['releasever'] = '6'
and mock have this defined for every chroot config and pass this value to 
--releasever of yum/dnf.

This way you can actually pass to mockchain
--addrepo='https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/foo/bar/epel-$releasever-$basearch/'
and it will work as expected.

I'm not sure if this will help you in your specific case thou.
