I've found that sometimes yum-conf-sl7x doesn't properly update 
/etc/yum/vars/slreleasever. I suspect it might be because that file is 
shared/co-owned by yum-conf-sl7x and sl-release packages, and yum seems 
sometimes to get confused as to whether the config file should be 
updated or not. That happened on a few of my systems going from 7.3 to 
7.4, but not with the recent 7.4 to 7.5 update. My fix was to copy the 
updated slreleasever file from an updated system to one that wasn't 
updating. Someone else has suggested removing and reinstalling the 
yum-conf-sl7x package:

If all else fails, you could try manually updating the slreleasever 
file:  echo 7.5 > /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever
