liblockfile is installed with CentOS 7 and it gets updated by EPEL 7. Is that supposed to happen?

No it's not. Added the maintainer [1] who requested it to cc: so he can outline why but I'm not sure why our requests are just being approved by the process-git-requests process.

Ugh. Good catch! It looks like liblockfile was added to EPEL7 by accident.
I opened a ticket[1].
Since that package didn't change for a long time, I wouldn't expect any real difference between those two.
