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

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:
