My system is 7.2.1511.

When I run "yum update", it wants to install about 900 packages total. Most are labeled just "el7". A few "el7_1" and a lot are "el7_3" or 7.3. None are 7.2.

I'm not surprised when I see 50-100 packages needing an update. But 900? And none specific to the installed system?

yum update of any centos 7 system updates it to the latest centos 7, whihc is currently 7.3. there's no such thing as 7.2 updates once 7.3 has come out. the files that say 7.1 haven't been updated since 7.1, but are still applicable to the latest.
