 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Don't know how to install it.

Solution

I was hit with the same issue.

You should be able to use: yum install xrdp --enablerepo=cr to get around this for now as the xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.20.1 packages should be available in the continuous release repo.

A mirror / package update is currently taking place. Some few mirrors already show xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.20.1. ( I can install xrdp + xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7 , but not run a complete update right now. ( I did an update a few days ago.)) ... Suggestions : Wait a day / some hours ... and do # yum install xrdp . ... Note : Never use 'yum -y'. May wreck your repo.
