Most likely there are dependencies that aren't available in your
current repos that are preventing the downgrade.  Perhaps its due to
the recent point release to 7.1611?

The packages installed with a 'yum downgrade' are unlikely to be
supported, so this is probably not really something that CentOS
supports.
