          different results).
        This may actually be a package handler
          (rpm, yum) issue, but it only happens with epel-release, so
          maybe someone in the epel community can explain this to me.

        
    the first time you installed the package shipped by centos in the
    extras repository. this one is version 7.9

    once it was installed, the package brought in the path to the EPEL
    repository. when you ran yum update, you retrieved and installed the
    newer version that is shipped in EPEL.
