kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 requires linux-firmware >= 20180113-61

Grr...

Have you tried getting linux-firmware manually and installing it first?
https://pkgs.org/download/linux-firmware
or
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/linux-firmware-20180220-62.git6d51311.el7.noarch.rpm.html

I was able to correct this on a few of my instances that were having issues by running:

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum

and then attempting the update again.

I think the cause of this was initially having a network connectivity issue on my end, so this may not help everyone, but worth a shot?

I did that this morning right after I posted. Same result.

Then I did --skip-broken.

I just did it again and now there are 230 updates and no conflicts.

I have 4 CentOS 7 servers at this location that I want to migrate to Fedora, just not high on my priority list.

But a little higher on that list now

I truly find fedora updates more reliable than CentOS ones.

Can you upgrade to policycoreutils >= 2.5-18?

[JaredBusch]

@obsolesce it ran this afternoon. I noted that.
