Venkataramana,

Trying to control through versionlock is an exercise in futility.  Don't do
it.

You have a few options here:

1. You could create a content view with a filter to include everything up
to the day before RHEL 7.5 was released (2018-04-09).  Point your servers
at that and that's all they'll ever see and have access to; essentially,
RHEL 7.4.
2. You could import the minor point-release version of the RHEL 7
repositories you require.  So, instead of these:

rhel-7-server-rpms-x86_64 feed: '
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os'.
rhel-7-server-extras-rpms-x86_64 feed: '
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/extras/os'
rhel-7-server-optional-rpms-x86_64 feed:'
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/optional/os
'

You would import these:

 rhel-7-server-rpms-x86_64 feed: '
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.4/x86_64/os'.
rhel-7-server-extras-rpms-x86_64 feed: '
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.4/x86_64/extras/os'
rhel-7-server-optional-rpms-x86_64 feed:'
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7.4/x86_64/optional/os'

Once those were imported, you can use the command "subscription-manager
release --set=7.4" on the servers you need to pin and that is all they will
see.

Please note that if you *do not* import the minor-point release
repositories and you try to use that, it will fail.  An easy way to see
what is available would be:

# subscription-manager release --list  <== This will tell you what
"releases" are available from your Pulp repositories .. if no minor-point
release has been imported for RHEL 7, all you will see is "7Server".
# subscription-manager release --set=7.4  <== Set the release version to
7.4.
# subscription-manager release --show  <== Confirm that the managed-client
is now set to release version 7.4

That "should" work for your requirements.

Cheers.
