I'm not sure about this but that seems like a bug when it thinks that the 310 driver package is an upgrade for the 304 driver package.

This doesn't appear to be a CentOS issue, possibly an elrepo issue.
it's actually more an nvidia issue: the newer drivers don't support some older GPUs. But since you're using elrepo you have an easy solution provided by these nice folks: they've created a new set of packages that will stay at the 304 level while getting any upstream updates.
You should probably do something such as: rpm -e --nodeps nvidia-x11-drv kmod-nvidia yum install nvidia-x11-drv-304xx kmod-nvidia-304xx
