By default, the MongoDB repository is not available in the yum repo. To use the yum repo, we need to add manually the MongoDB details. Create a repo file inside the yum.repo.d directory. Here I have created a repro for MongoDB 3.6. Based on the required version, you can create a repo file and add the repository details.
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.6.repo
Add MongoDB repository details to the repo file.
[mongodb-org-3.6] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.6/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.6.asc
Save the file and exit.
Other versions of the MongoDB repository can be found here.
