No, it isn't. Install PROJ.4 first then GDAL from source, and everything 
is under your control.

The README file I referred to does list the RPMs needed, but you will do 
better choosing the drivers for GDAL you need yourself, installing their 
dependencies, and building at least PROJ.4 and GDAL from source. Centos 7 
does not yet seem to be well supported anywhere for these, and for 6 the 
versions are typically old or very old.

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.8.0.tar.gz
http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip

then

http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.11.1/gdal-1.11.1.tar.gz

Remember to run ldconfig after installing to make the shared objects 
visible.
