That's because of the 0.0.0.301124-1.8 version of kmod-open-vm-tools in the repository, which really should have been 0.0.0.301124-1.1.8 looking at the rest of the versions.
I've 'fixed' this by adding the following to the [asl-3.0] section in /etc/yum.repos.d/asl.repo:

Yum is still offering to install kmod-open-vm-tools-0.0.0.301124-1.8 even though you excluded it?
