Interesting. Presumably this is not ABI compatible with the stock kernel so you can't use the ElRepo kmod packages. Otherwise it may be OK. Also be aware that oraclelinux-release-el7 installed three repo files, oracle-linux-ol7.repo, uek-ol7.repo and virt-ol7.repo and there are two enabled repos there. Are you sure you want ol7_latest enabled.
You should be able to disable repos in the .repo file rather than move it to one side.
I noticed these packages, though they do conflict with the current installed versions. I was able to update all others while skipping those specifically. -
