Consider:

1. foo rpm that is in the RHEL baseos. It's not in any module. 
Can epel make a foo (non default) module that overrides it?

2. foo rpm that is in a RHEL default module. 
Can epel make a foo (non default) module that overrides it?

3. foo rpm that is in a RHEL non default module. 
Can epel make a foo (non default) module that overrides it?

I think we all agree 3 is fine. 
I think 2 could cause problems, but perhaps it would work. 
I would think 1 would be fine also.
