# rpm -q --last subscription-manager
will tell you when it was last updated/installed if you haven't removed it yet.
Possibly
# grep subscription-manager /var/log/yum*

Yes, it came in on June 7th's yum update.
However, looking at my command history ( keep a VERY
large command history just for issues like this),
I see no deliberate install of subscription-manager and it's siblings.
It came with yum update. THAT should not have happened.
