Every Cloud initiative should prepare a list of replaced and added 
packages with minimum versions and any matches should be examined. I am 
guessing main concern will be a kernel version. SiG Cloud could have 
separate repositories for each Variant and in it different versions of 
packages/kernels needed.

If there is a problem with clashing versions of some packet, yum 
priority can be used to push the correct one.

Bare in mind that ElRepo project already has 3.10 kernels made to fit to 
EL 6 system, so they can be used as an template for Variants that need 
newer kernel.
