Definitely, ntfs-3g is from the EPEL repo:
# yum info ntfs-3g
Installed Packages
Name        : ntfs-3g
Arch        : x86_64
Epoch       : 2
Version     : 2017.3.23
Release     : 11.el7
Size        : 612 k
Repo        : installed
From repo   : epel
Summary     : Linux NTFS userspace driver
URL         : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
License     : GPLv2+
Description : NTFS-3G is a stable, open source, GPL licensed, POSIX, read/write NTFS
            : driver for Linux and many other operating systems. It provides safe
            : handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows
            : Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 NTFS file systems. NTFS-3G can
            : create, remove, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams;
            : it can read and write normal and transparently compressed files, including
            : streams and sparse files; it can handle special files like symbolic links,
            : devices, and FIFOs, ACL, extended attributes; moreover it provides full
            : file access right and ownership support.

But it looks like whereas you installed epel-release, it's not
enabled.
Check if it's enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo, the [epel] section
should have a enabled=1 line (or run `yum install --enablerepo=epel
ntfs-3g`) to enable it temporarily).
