At the end I think you have something broken with your repo config or you
installed forcing something.
The repo should be:
[teams]
name=teams
baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
On a system with Fedora 34 I run without problems
teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 using that repo.
Unfortunately the repo itself is distro agnostic in the sense that I see
the flat baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams inside it
and there is no check about distro
(this I think was the note about "not understanding how to package
software" pointed out by Phil)
If I go to an updated CentOS 7.9 system without teams and put the repo file
I get this, as other detailed before:
yum install teams

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
But I can run:
yum install teams-1.4.00.7556-1

I don't know if there is a yum option or config parameter to say yum to
choose the best version, without depsolve problems, even if not the latest
available (in this case teams-1.4.00.7556-1) among the ones found inside a
repo....
For sure they could have at least created with minimal effort a tree
structure with distro versions and links to corresponding rpm packages, and
then use the distroversion and not flat url inside the repo file.
And inside the directory for el7 the latest package would have been
teams-1.4.00.7556-1, while on CentOS 8 and Fedora I would find also the
teams-1.4.00.13653-1
