If you look at the output of the list command, it shows that the php-pgsql.x86_64 is available, not installed on the machine. and that's why, when you hit the remove command, it shows that no packages marked for removal.

To support my answer, I had tried to run both of your command on ec2, and which does remove the package , if its installed.

Now if the plugin in installed on ec2 and you run list command , it shows the installed packages:

  [root@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ec2-user]# yum list php-pgsql*
  Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
  Installed Packages -- this line shows it installed.
  php-pgsql.x86_64

Try remove command to remove the packages:

[root@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ec2-user]# yum remove php-pgsql* -y
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
