I had the same problem a few weeks ago and decided to stick with the
webtatic repository. As our typo3 instance required 7.0, I updated
from php.5.6 to php.7.0 by simply "yum remove php56w ..." and "yum
install php70w ...". Everything went smooth and without problem.
Before I updated, I checked if all used 5.6 packages were available in
the 7.0 version.

I took that path because I could easily identify that all required
packages were available in both versions. This might be more
complicated if I would have moved from webtatic-5.6 to remy-7.0.

You may also consider to crossgrade from owncloud to nextcloud :-)
