yum list <packagename>

That will tell you all the places that package can come from.

You will have to grep for the specific package number or look at the list.

Once a package in ON YOUR MACHINE, it is also in the installed repo ...
but you can also install packages by hand from NO repos.

If you use the command:

rpm -qi <packagename>

That will tell you if it is a CentOS package ... and you can see if it
signed by a CentOS key.
