Yum error when trying to install remi repo

New installation of CentOS 7.2 with Apache 2.4.6. Trying to install the remi repo so that I can upgrade to PHP 5.6 (yum only provides 5.4). When trying to install the repo from an rpm, I get the following error:

rpm -Uvh remi-release-7*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
yum is needed by remi-release-7.1-3.el7.remi.noarch

Obviously, I have yum, so I don't know what the problem is. I've never seen this before when trying to install a repo. EPEL came over fine.
