As Dan said, EPEL is a Fedora repository.
It isn't specific to ppc64le, e.g.
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/linux/mirrors/redhat/epel/7Server/x86_64/Packages/p/python2-asn1crypto-0.24.0-7.el7.noarch.rpm

> compared to similar x86 package : https://pypi.org/project/asn1crypto/) (1.3.0)

Pypi is not specific to x86 either.  You can also install this package on
ppc64le:

$ pip3 install --user asn1crypto

In order to update packages maintained by the Fedora community, you need to
contact the maintainers.
Let me list where you can find more information about a few of these packages
on EPEL:

generally all content in EPEL should be provided consistently across
the arches, exceptions are usually caused by RHEL add-on repos like
Extras

or become one, it's not difficult and I can help if needed. There is
no magic workforce behind EPEL :-)

If I see right, then some packages are outdated in EPEL, some are
missing. The recommended procedure is to open bugs at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/, but not all Fedora maintainers are
willing to maintain the EPEL branches. Thus becoming part of the
community is helpful.
