The best way to install mySQL and phpmyadmin is as follows.

Download and use the official mySQL Yum Repo at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/

This repo is officially from mySQL so you will receive the latest updates right away, a guide to install it and mySQL is available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-yum-repo-quick-guide/en/ simple way to install it is yum install mysql-community-server and make sure mysql-community-libs are installed if not yum install them as well.

Now you will need to install apache which is required for phpmyadmin so basic step is just yum install httpd

And now you will need to install PHP I don't recommend the default PHP version that is offered by the CentOS repo because it's very outdated you can use webstatic which provides the latest PHP releases via repo at https://webtatic.com/packages/php56/

Now as stated on here you have EPEL install phpmyadmin from that so once EPEL repo is enabled when you do yum install phpmyadmin it should be installing version 4.0.10.8

Once you installed everything make sure you securely setup mySQL and start it up, than start up apache and phpmyadmin will be running.

Just to remind you Apache and PHP is required for phpmyadmin to run.
