Hi Alex,

MariaDB itself has RHEL/CentOS repos: 
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/getting-started/getting-installing-and-upgrading-mariadb/mariadb-binary-packages/installing-mariadb-rpm-files/installing-mariadb-with-yum/

But you could limit EPEL repo to only include MariaDB packages and deps with  
'includepkgs=' directive in the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo config file, like

   [epel]
   ... default stuff ...
   includepkgs=MariaDB-* some-deps-package

See example here: 
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus

Regards,
Martin
