Say you have package foobar-1.1 installed.
rpm -ivh foobar-2.1.rpm will install foobar-2.1 alongside
foobar-1.1. So if you do rpm -q foobar, the results will be

foobar-1.1
foobar-2.1

OTOH (On The Other Hand) if you did a rpm -Uvh instead,
foobar-2.1 will replace foobar-1.1. So rpm -q will list only
foobar-2.1.
