A first note is that it seems to me that 22.84.12 should
be obsoleted (if xdvi is).

The issue I see is that the xdvi package exists and it
is a different upstream. However I can't see a reason why
somebody would want to package it. In fact it may have been 
unfortunate that I (I think it was me in a patch fro 
texlive.spec) called  it xdvi and not xdvik. However it is
not that obvious since it certainly makes sense to have 
yum install xdvi installs xdvik. 

Maybe one possibility could be to drop completely the 
Obsoletes: xdvi

and leave
Provides: xdvi = %{version}-%{release}

This will hurt the rawhide texlive users but maybe it would be
better. Another possiblity could be

Obsoloetes: xdvi = 22.84.12

That way the xdvi in rawhide is obsoleted without much side-effect.
