You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Solution

Run yum with just the carbonblack repository:

yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="CarbonBlack" update cb-enterprise

Or permanently disable the epel repository

1. Remove or disable epel repositories:
   CentOS / RHEL: Delete Old Yum Repositories and Configuration Files
2. Clear out prior yum data:
   

   yum clean all

3. Attempt the update again:
   

   yum update cb-enterprise
