If you can find a copy of the 4.7 iso you can upgrade from that.  If you do this 
regularly, lagging well behind the repository, you might want to set up a 
repository mirror and keep snapshots at the points you expect to want later. 
I've always considered it a flaw in yum that it doesn't have an easy way to 
reproduce a known system state even though newer items have been added to the 
repositories - but even if it did, I don't think it would work across minor 
number revision upgrades the way the Centos repositories are handled.
