This should be fixed as of friday.

I forgot that we have a redhat-release-server rpm in epel.
This is due to the fact that the 'alt' redhat-release-server is/was
newer than the x86_64 one, and it made all packages come out with a
'.el7a' dist tag. So, we made a redhat-release-server in epel that is
just a rebuild of the existing one. I forgot to make this build when 7.6
came out. ;(
