I have a Centos 6 server that I accidentally added a RHEL 7 package to it's rpm database.
Added wrong package
sudo rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm
So when I tried to add the correct package I get:
sudo rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm

file /etc/yum.repos.d/zabbix.repo from install of zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch
So I ran the following:
yum clean all
rpm --rebuilddb
Then added RHEL 6 package:
sudo rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm

But install still reverts back to wrong package:
sudo yum install zabbix-agent

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

[root@medherent ~]# sudo rpm -ev zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch

So I tried to explicitly remove package:
sudo rpm -ev zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch
error: package zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch is not installed
How do I run YUM install to use RHEL 6 package or remove RHEL 7 package from rpm db?
Edit
So I ran the following per suggestion:
rpm -e zabbix-release
Which appears to have executed without error.
I don't know which packages are part of my distro:
ls -all /etc/yum.repos.d

Best Answer
You need to uninstall the incorrectly installed package, i.e.:
You remove packages by package name, not by filename, because installed packages don't have a filename.
Of course, this probably won't fix the problem, because you destroyed and rebuilt the RPM database when there was no need to do so, and it is likely there are files the wrong package installed that are no longer tracked. You will need to find these and remove them manually. Look in the
/etc/yum.repos.ddirectory and find repo files which don't correspond to your distribution. Or you might get lucky and the files get cleaned out OK.Once that's done, you need to clean yum's caches with
yum clean alland then reinstall the correct zabbix-release RPM.
