 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

You can just remove the PHP 5.x version of php-mysql:

# yum remove php-mysql

Update all the packages:

# yum -y update

And finally just install php-mysql again but this time it will be from PHP 7.0:

# yum -y install php-mysql
