It seems currently "centos-release-xen" package is broken in CentOS7,
it points to xen-46 repo, which isn't available anymore in CentOS 7.6:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/

	-> xen-48/
	-> xen-410/


# yum clean all
# yum search centos-release-xen
..
centos-release-xen.x86_64 : CentOS Virt SIG Xen repo configs
centos-release-xen-48.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen repo configs for Xen 4.8
centos-release-xen-common.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen support files
..

# yum install centos-release-xen
# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen.repo 

# CentOS-Xen.repo
#
# Please see http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/Xen4 for more 
# information

[centos-virt-xen-46]
name=CentOS-$releasever - xen
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/virt/$basearch/xen-46
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-Virtualization

I guess two things should happen in CentOS7:

1) Publish centos-release-xen-410 package
2) Update centos-release-xen package to point to.. 410 ?
