On version 5 I do
# /usr/bin/setterm -powerdown 0 -blank 0 -term console
to disable the blank screen. This looks more complicated than your
setterm command and I do not know if the other parameters are relevant.
On version 6 there is a consoleblank=0 kernel parameter to disable the
blank.
It is strange that you experience that. I am pretty sure I ran into a
blanked CentOS 7 console last week.
