Hello,
which command did you execute, exactly?
I have only experience with RHEL and not CentOS for what regards
lvm2-cluster; in my opinion it is correct that it is included in "Resilient
Storage" group.
So that if you already had this group installed but not lvm2-cluster rpm
package, it was a problem before, not now....

Eg, in a CentOS 7.2 vm of mine I have:

[root at manageiq ~]# rpm -q lvm2-cluster
package lvm2-cluster is not installed
[root at manageiq ~]#

[root at manageiq ~]# rpm -q lvm2
lvm2-2.02.130-5.el7.x86_64
[root at manageiq ~]#

[root at manageiq ~]# yum update
. . .
centos-release                    x86_64     7-3.1611.el7.centos
      base         23 k
. . .
lvm2                              x86_64     7:2.02.166-1.el7_3.1
     updates     1.1 M
. . .
but no lvm2-cluster package proposed

but correctly if I run

[root at manageiq ~]# yum groupinstall "Resilient Storage"
...

Transaction Summary
====================================================================================================
Install  3 Packages (+5 Dependent packages)
Upgrade             ( 7 Dependent packages)

So it seems ok to me. It pulls the update of lvm2 package itself and also
the lvm2-cluster package (correctly pulled from the "updates" repo)

HIH,
