I had mongodb 2.6.11 installed on my CentOS sandbox server.

I wanted to upgrade that sandbox to the latest mongodb version. So, I followed the directions here:
https://docs.mongodb.com/master/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat/
In particular, I had to create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.4.repo file. That worked fine.
# mongod -version
db version v3.4.2
Now, I'd like to convince myself that I can downgrade mongodb back to version 2.6.11 if I needed to.
When I try to downgrade I get an error:
# yum downgrade mongodb-org
Error: Package: mongodb-org-3.4.1-1.el6.x86_64 (mongodb-org-3.4)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The skip-broken suggestion failed.
# yum downgrade --skip-broken mongodb-org

In /etc/yum.repos.d I now have two .repo files:
mongodb-org-3.4.repo
mongodb.repo
mongodb.repo has this:
[mongodb]
gpgcheck=0
name=MongoDB/10gen Repository
enabled=1
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/
And, mongodb-org-3.4.repo, has this:
[mongodb-org-3.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.4.asc
How can I get back to mongodb 2.6.11?
Update: 2/24/17
I was able to remove the five mongo packages.
# rpm -qa | grep mongo
mongodb-org-mongos-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
mongodb-org-tools-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
mongodb-org-server-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
mongodb-org-shell-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
mongodb-org-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64
# yum remove mongodb-org
# yum remove mongodb-org-shell
# yum remove mongodb-org-mongos
# yum remove mongodb-org-tools
# yum remove mongodb-org-server
And then I renamed the 3.4 mongo .repo file:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# mv mongodb-org-3.4.repo mongodb-org-3.4.repo.NOT
# yum install mongodb
Then I installed mongodb (because I got the familiar conflicts trying to install mongodb-org).
# mongo -version
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.14
But, I'm still stuck as I couldn't install all of the mongo packages in mongodb-org and, when I tried to upgrade mongo, hoping to get to 2.6.11, I'm told that no packages are marked for upgrade.
