Retiring epel7's puppet may be the preferred option.  It is allowed
[0], but if you go this route please mention it on the epel-devel list
(and perhaps epel-announce) first.

Alternatively, have you considered doing an incompatible update [1] to
version 5?  It may already be EOL, but surely that's a better option
than the current version 3 or removing it entirely.
