RabbitMQ is on the latest 3.6.x version but that is dependent on the version of erlang that's available - and EPEL currently supplies R16B-03.18.el7. The 3.6 series is still current and supported AFAIK. Getting a more recent version would mean a rebase of erlang. Don't know anything about qpid but the EPEL packages are currently 1.38.0-1.el7 Trevor
