These do not appear to be the same thing. Note the numbers just before the .src part of the filenames.

CentOS drop the underscore part of the dist tag when they rebuild them. Checking the changelog should confirm they are the same.

But we already had a firefox-45.2.0-1 rpm issued a week back:
$ rpm -qi firefox Name : firefox Version : 45.2.0 Release : 1.el7.centos Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Wed 08 Jun 2016 08:26:44 PM CST Group : Applications/Internet Size : 149250172 License : MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA256, Wed 08 Jun 2016 05:19:42 PM CST, Key ID 24c6a8a7f4a80eb5 Source RPM : firefox-45.2.0-1.el7.centos.src.rpm
Therefore, yum won't find this latest update (as far as I can tell, anyway).

Yes .. the announcements were stuck in the outbound queue .. and the CentOS-7 one had to be regenerated. The actual RPMs where released last week when they were built. (The announcements were delayed).
When the CentOS team changes a package for debranding, except the kernel which has to have the exact same name for 3rd Party Modules or Drivers, we change the dist tag to .el7.centos (or .el6.centos or .el5.centos). We do this to denote that the package has been modified.
We only modify packages in the BASE operating system for debranding to meet the redistribution requirements of Red Hat Software (Specifically, see the Trademark information here):

This issue is documented in Red Hat Bugzilla Bug 1346427 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346427
There is also a case opened with Red Hat Support: CASE 01652429
There are two workarounds:
1. Downgrade to:
brasero.x86_64 2.28.3-6.el6 brasero-libs.x86_64 2.28.3-6.el6 brasero-nautilus.x86_64 2.28.3-6.el6
2. Use command line utilities mkisofs and cdrecord:
mkisofs -o ISO_file_name.iso -J -r -V Disc_Label SourceFileDirectory/ cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/sr0 ISO_file_name.iso
------------------------------------------------------------ Details: --------
Problem has been confirmed to be in brasero-nautilus-2.30.3-3.el6
Downgrading brasero packages to 2.28.3-6.el6 fixes the problem.
Description of problem:
After updating to RHEL 6.8, burning data optical discs using CD/DVD Creator causes all regular file execute permissions to be removed. Directory execute permissions are retained. This problem only appeared after updating to RHEL/CentOS 6.8 from 6.7.
Using mkisofs / cdrecord with the same data produces optical media with normal file permissions - all execute permissions are retained on files and directories.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert blank optical media in CD/DVD writer 2. Select [Open CD/DVD Creator] when prompted and click [OK] 3. Drag files and directories with execute permissions into the creator window 4. Click [Write to Disc]
