Obviously, but I never installed a group called "Resilient Storage" nor do I need that group and yum grouplist does not show that such a group even exists. What I was missing is that yum grouplist has a "hidden" option and that is what you need to actually see what groups are installed on the machine. Once I found that I discovered that in 7.2 the Resilient Storage group only had gfs2-utils as a Mandatory package. In 7.3 lvm2-cluster was added as an additional package to that group. Yum logs show that gfs2-utils has been installed since the beginning of the machine's life (most likely by anaconda) and now that lvm2-cluster was added as a mandatory package, that is what caused the unnecessary deps to be required. That was the mystery I was trying to understand and solve. The bottom line is that I removed gfs2-utils and all is well. Sorry for the confusion.
