If people aren't in #centos-devel, here is the status : it's now solved.
Now the explanations : for 7.5.1804 GA release, we found that
initscripts had a Requires: on things only provided by newer
centos-release, and we can't (yet) push that one, as for obvious
reasons, we don't have yet the real 7.5.1804 tree (so install images nor
install trees generated by newer anaconda)

So there was a decision to ship to CR everything that was built , except
initscripts.
That's not a problem for rpm, as repoclosure didn't detect any issue and
you can easily "yum install rdma-core --enablerepo=cr" on a "normal" node

The "issue" is how koji imports those metadata and pkgs : it looks at
pkgs available in those external repos, and verify the SRPM they were
built from, and initscripts src.rpm built two pkgs : both initscripts
and debugmode, which was pushed to CR (while initscripts itself wasn't)
So koji started to exclude pkg like initscripts from 7.4.1708 (even if
available) because debugmode (built from newer ENVR initscripts) was
present.

The solution was then to remove debugmode, regen repo metadata, and
import those again in koji, which was done. After that it worked fine

Cheers,
