Out of curiosity, I ran:

# matchpathcon /data
/data	system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0

I'm not sure why /data is labeled etc_runtime_t, but I suspect that's
why you can't export its contents via Samba, SELinux is probably
preventing it.

I suggest following the directions here:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetUpSamba#head-86233024cba06a1e4f554e763a2f634a61eae9b8

and run:

semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t '/data(/.*)?'
restorecon -R /data
