Do you have a repository where glusterfs-server-3.6.3 is the latest
version? If you enable that repository, you should see that there is no
update for glusterfs-server, and it should not try to update other
glusterfs packages.

Alternatively, you can exclude the packages from being updated
completely.  Add a space separated list of glusterfs packages that you
have installed to /etc/yum.conf like this:

  exclude=glusterfs glusterfs-libs glusterfs-server glusterfs-fuse

Cheers,
