You need to add the snapd repository which is linked at the very top. The version of snapd from EPEL is built against RHEL repositories, but AMZN2 repositories are outdated and thus the package cannot be installed.

Just cd /etc/yum.repos.d && wget https://people.canonical.com/~mvo/snapd/amazon-linux2/snapd-amzn2.repo.
