There seems to be some issue in the repo, the right version to be used with 3.6 is at
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.6/rpm/el7/ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.6-3.fc23.noarch.rpm
You can ignore the fcxx part…it’s not significant at all as those packages are not part of Fedora nor contain any release dependent code, it’s just an iso inside to be used on Windows
it shouldn’t matter for the exclamation mark problem though, that fix was on the engine side and it works with older guest agents as well (not too old, still should be at least some 3.6:)
