Please post full yum output (using: LANG=C yum ....)

Looks like you have protectbase or priority plugin enable, try to disable (of fix priority of remi-php56 to be > epel one)


P.S. the issue is not with 5.6.30/5.6.29 being online (I always keep 1 old version to allow downgrade if needed), but with php-tidy from epel being selected instead of php-tidy from remi-php56.

so, changing the yum.repos files to 56 works, thanks
