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

How do I resolve the dependency issues in order to get PHP 7.2.3 up and running?

Remove the php-pecl-mongo package first. It's built for an ancient version of PHP and won't work with PHP 7.2.

# yum info php-pecl-mongo
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Available Packages
Name        : php-pecl-mongo
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 1.6.16
Release     : 1.el7.remi.5.4
Size        : 267 k
Repo        : remi
Summary     : PHP MongoDB database driver
URL         : http://pecl.php.net/package/mongo
License     : ASL 2.0
Description : This package provides an interface for communicating with the
            : MongoDB database in PHP.
            : 
            : Documentation: http://php.net/mongo
            : 
            : Package built for PHP 5.4.

After you upgrade to PHP 7.2, you can then install its replacement, php-pecl-mongodb.

# yum info php-pecl-mongodb
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
Available Packages
Name        : php-pecl-mongodb
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 1.4.2
Release     : 1.el7.remi.7.2
Size        : 479 k
Repo        : remi-php72
Summary     : MongoDB driver for PHP
URL         : http://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb
License     : ASL 2.0
Description : The purpose of this driver is to provide exceptionally thin glue
            : between MongoDB and PHP, implementing only fundemental and
            : performance-critical components necessary to build a
            : fully-functional MongoDB driver.
            : 
            : Package built for PHP 7.2.

Keep in mind that if you haven't done so already, you should test your application for compatibility, as the new PECL library may have introduced backward incompatible changes.

@Vic The same as any other package, `yum remove packagename`. — Michael Hampton, Mar 23 '18 at 20:35
@Vic Read my answer. Go back to updating PHP as you were doing when you ran into the problem. — Michael Hampton, Mar 23 '18 at 20:38
@Vic You did _not_ run the command shown above in your question. Try running that command instead. — Michael Hampton, Mar 23 '18 at 20:45
The update is locked by design. mongodb have a really different API than the old mongo extension. Usually application use https://packagist.org/packages/mongodb/mongodb or https://packagist.org/packages/alcaeus/mongo-php-adapter (which offers a compatibility layer with the old extension API) — Remi Collet, Mar 27 '18 at 06:21
