This is normally caused by yum/dnf global configuration, as the expected behavior is that the yum install command also updates the package if it is installed.
To resolve this issue, please check your global /etc/yum.conf (CentOS 7) or /etc/dnf/dnf.conf configuration (CentOS 8) for the "best=False" parameter, and change this value to "True".
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
[...]
best=True
Adjusting the value to "best=True" allows dnf/yum to try the best available package versions.
