I'm running CentOS 7

I've restored the system to its prior snapshot, and performed the
install again. This time around, it installed the ntp package (including
the ntpd service but not enabling it), and did not disable chronyd.
I'm again saying, "WTH?", but now for a different reason.
I guess I'm going to need to add a line to my documentation, "After
installation of the xymon package, confirm chronyd is still present. If
not, rinse and repeat."
This is what yum told me it was going to do:
