Hi,

I've filed a bug here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244057

to address this issue.

I've put a little explanation on why it happens in the bug report, if
your interested.

For now, you can work around the probably by installing with
--oldpackage (or --force) or by doing the ~/.rpmmacros trick mentioned
else where in the thread.
