When I try to install the katello-agent on the Katello server itself, I get
a version conflict under Scientific Linux 7.1 x86_64

yum install katello-agent

Same problem here on CentOS 7.1. Any ideas?

I was able to temporarily fix the issue by disabling the katello pulp repo
in /etc/yum.repos.d.

This is still an open issue. Is seems katello-pulp works with python-rhsm
-1.15.4-5
Thanks for this answer!

Sorry to piggyback on this old thread, but this is still an issue on
up-to-date CentOS 7 + Katello 2.4 and it's not documented in the link
provided. It seems like the katello-pulp repository provides an outdated
version of python-rhsm but is configured as high-priority repository. The
version of subscription-manager available in CentOS' repositories requires
at least python-rhsm >= 1.15 while katello-pulp provides python-rhsm-1.8.0.

Should this be reported to Katello as a bug (I can't evaluate whether that
version of python-rhsm is still needed or not) or to the katello.org
repository on GitHub to add further documentation?
