OK, so let me generalize: isn't "make it a module" the general answer when
different versions of the package are desired?
ELN's purpose is to be a staging ground for the next major release of
enterprise linux. If this is a package that is intended to be in the
non-modular set for EL N+1, then it needs to be non-modular in ELN (so
we can calculate the dependencies properly). If it is intended to be a
module in EL N+1, then ideally it should be a module in ELN (if we can
figure out how to get that to work properly; there are technical
issues there that make modules built for Fedora not directly
importable to CentOS Stream/RHEL).
