Just FYI, as a fall-back you can always move yourself to the Xen 4.4 "track" by:
1. Installing centos-release-xen-44
2. Removing centos-release-xen
3. "yum downgrade" all the Xen packages.
This will switch you to repos which will only have Xen 4.4; and Johnny
will be doing XSA backports until the 4.4 EOL in 2017. You can
upgrade to 4.6 again by either re-installing centos-release-xen (which
will update to the latest automatically) or installing
centos-release-xen-46 (which will stay on Xen 4.6). (You can install
multiple packages at the same time; yum will just choose the highest
version available.)

So just checking -- the issue here is that you're not using the
".cfg"-style config files, but the sxp-style config files? You're not
using libvirt, is that right?
Unfortunately parsing sxp config files and running "managed domains"
are one feature that was explicitly chose as something we wouldn't be
supporting in xl going forward [1]. You'll probably have to do some
sort of manual conversion.
