Yeah, we need to be "creative" and find a way to find an easy fix for
that.
Actually, there is no kernel package in the Base/OS repo, as we needed
to ensure that we could use different kernel repositories for specific
boards.
For example, the rpi2 has a dedicated kernel repo :
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/

So adding the following file would then work for you :

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-rpi2-kernel.repo
# CentOS-rpi2-kernel.repo

[rpi2-kernel]
name=rpi2 kernel repo for CentOS 7 userland
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-AltArch-Arm32
