Maybe the problem is in the version that is referred,
syslinux-4.05-7.fc20 ... 2013-08-05 ...
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=429
&
syslinux-4.05-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/os/Packages/

in contrast to these,
syslinux-5.10.tar.xz    04-Jun-2013 ...
syslinux-6.02.tar.xz    13-Oct-2013 ...
