The replace plugin was designed around replacing stock packages; I haven't seen anyone try to use it in this context before. `yum shell` works reliably on all current EL releases.
# yum shell > erase php54-mysql > install php54-mysqlnd > run EL7 also has the `yum swap` command, which lets you do transactions similar to `yum shell` in a single command. In the future, yum will be deprecated in favor of dnf, which has a flag `--allow-erasing` built in [1]. dnf is already available in EPEL7. yum-replace-plugin isn't actively developed anymore, and probably won't be needed in future RHEL releases.
