Answer 1

Note, there is no 1.10 where you're looking. You can see the list here

http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/7/x86_64/RPMS/

After you yum update use yum search nginx to see the different versions you have and choose a specific one:

yum search nginx

on centos 6 gives

nginx.x86_64 : A high performance web server and reverse proxy server
nginx16.x86_64 : A high performance web server and reverse proxy server
nginx18.x86_64 : A high performance web server and reverse proxy server

I have two versions to choose from, 1.6 and 1.8.
