What yum command line did you use that gave the above errors?
I'm not an expert on yum, but the above errors seem to indicate that 3
versions of chkconfig are involved: 1.7.2-1.el7_3.1, 1.7.2-1.el7 and
1.3.61-4.el7 - not sure of the significance of this ...
I guess you could try removing ntsysv and then trying to update
chkconfig and then re-install ntsysv :
yum remove ntsysv
yum update chkconfig
yum install ntsysv
