I agree that EvictionPolicy is too abstract/too much of a catch-all to be meaningful, but I think EvictionAlgorithm is pretty clear and makes sense.  EvictionOrderingPolicy isn't quite right either since the algo doesn't exactly order stuff, but selects stuff for eviction.  Perhaps EvictionSelectionAlgorithm if you think EvictionAlgorithm is too general.
