why don't you just forget yum and use gem instead ?

So, um, what's actually the problem? The yum output you provided
appears to show yum having located facter in epel (as it should), and
indeed having successfully completed dependency resolution. Does some
kind of error occur later?

For what it's worth, on yum- or apt-based system, I strongly recommend
avoiding gem. Two separate package managers (e.g. yum/rpm and gem)
with overlapping scopes will cause you grief. Gem would be ok for a
local, non-packaged Ruby installation (no overlapping scope in that
case), but I also recommend avoiding non-packaged installs.
