Comment 4 Pavel Cahyna 2017-11-10 17:52:54 UTC 
Note for testing: I was able to reproduce the bug only with packages with a nonzero epoch.

# ansible -C -c local -i localhost, -m yum -a 'name=NetworkManager state=latest' localhost
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "changes": {
        "installed": [], 
        "updated": []
    }, 
    "failed": false, 
    "msg": "", 
    "rc": 0, 
    "results": [
        "All packages providing NetworkManager are up to date"
    ]
}

(NetworkManager is at version 1:1.8.0-9.el7)

but

# ansible -C -c local -i localhost, -m yum -a 'name=tzdata state=latest' localhost
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": true, 
    "changes": {
        "installed": [], 
        "updated": [
            [
                "tzdata", 
                "2017c-1.el7.noarch from rhel-7-server-rpms"
            ]
        ]
    }, 
    "failed": false, 
    "msg": "", 
    "rc": 0, 
    "results": []
}

(tzdata is at version 0:2017b-1.el7)
