The upgrade guide mentions this error message, and says it is just a warning:
https://docs.kolab.org/upgrade-guide/kolab-16.html

What is the output of this command for you:
rpm -qv cyrus-imapd
Are there two versions of cyrus installed? I can hardly imagine that.
But it is strange that the 3.3 package uninstaller still complains.
You could try:
yum remove cyrus-imapd-2.5-48.5.el7.kolab_3.3.x86_64
perhaps with option --tolerant

I cannot reproduce this situation anymore, because it seems the Kolab
3.3 repo has gone.

I hope this helps,
  Timotheus
