Yes, it's coming from centos-userland-release :
rpm -q --scripts centos-userland-release :
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
# Detecting if rpi or generic kernel
egrep -q 'BCM2709|BCM2710' /proc/cpuinfo && echo rpi2
>/etc/yum/vars/kvariant || echo generic >/etc/yum/vars/kvariant

So normally it's detected correctly and so put the correct rpi2 value
for kvariant when installed on a rpi2/rpi3

Funny, my device reports BCM2835.  (which indicates that it isn't RPI3 at all).  I'm sure they are all in the BCM28xx range, see  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi also, difference between BCM27xx and BCM28xx:   https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/840/why-is-the-cpu-sometimes...

hmm, interesting ... so you mean that with the raspberrypi2 kernel installed, it was still detecting the rpi3 as BCM2835 ? It wasn't on mine, but if some people confirm that behaviour, we can probably adapt the rpm postinstall scriptlet that way too
