An old config from a vcenter agent must still be there in the esxi, as please see the fact there : Required ports for VMware vCenter Server 5.5 (2051575)
902
TCP/UDP
This is the default port used by the vCenter Server system to send
data to managed hosts. Managed hosts also send a regular heartbeat
over UDP port 902 to the vCenter Server system. This port must not be
blocked by firewalls between the server and the hosts or between
hosts.
Please follow that KB to remove any trace from Vcenter :
