I think I may have found it (see below).

OK, our elrepo package doesn't provide nvidia-drivers but the 
cuda-drivers package does: 

$ rpm -qp --provides cuda-drivers-384.81-1.x86_64.rpm 
warning: cuda-drivers-384.81-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA512 
Signature, key ID 7fa2af80: NOKEY 
cuda-driver = 384.81 
nvidia-drivers = 384.81 
cuda-drivers = 384.81-1 
cuda-drivers(x86-64) = 384.81-1 

So I have added that as a virtual provide to our package and rebuilt it 
for you to test. The following package has been uploaded and is 
currently syncing to the mirrors: 

nvidia-x11-drv-384.98-2.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm 

Once available on your mirror, I'm hoping this will resolve the 
dependency issues for you. So please give it a couple hours and try 
again (you might need to run 'yum clean all' first to clear out the yum 
cache), and let us know how you get on. Thanks
