Beyond the fact that both are nouns formed from the past participle stem of Latin verbs prefixed with re- by means of the abstract nominal suffix -iō? Not as far as I know.
The root verb of repulsion is pellō (from earlier *pelnō) which means "push". (The PIE root is *pelh₂- "strike; thrust".) The root of revulsion is vellō which means "pluck". (PIE etymon unknown.)
