RDO follows upstream release cycles [1]. As such, RDO should not be expected to mirror or support releases that have reached end of life and are no longer maintained upstream. Icehouse has been dropped upstream on 2015-07-02. We're talking about a version that was released in 2014. There are vendors that may support releases for an extended period of time, for example the Icehouse release by Red Hat (OSP 5) is supported until 2017 [2].

Though I do not recommend to use EOL repositories You could also write your own yum repository files pointing to the new locations. Regards, H.
