I looked at a lot of resources, but I couldn't find any useful information. Either repos are broken or prepug problems...

Sadly, the upgrade path from Centos 6.x to 7.x has been broken since shortly after 7.x was released, with no fixes to preupg in sight - and at this point, it seems unlikely the official route will work. Further, I don't know of ANY unofficial route that is proven to work well, either.

The only real and trusted upgrade path from Centos 6x to 7x is to install 7 onto fresh hardware/vm and migrate services over.

This surprises folk coming from other distros where, whilst not being trivial, it is usually achievable to upgrade between major versions in-situ, but this does not seem to be the Centos way.
