I've install yum-cron on a new CentOS 7 host and after a recent update I am now getting daily repeating emails about that update instead of the single notification I was expecting. Does anyone know what's going on?

By default, yum-cron just downloads updates but does not install them, so the e-mail you receive shows a list of updates waiting to be applied. If you want it to do that you must change "apply_updates" in /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf from "no" to "yes".
