With that structure you do not need fedora-obsolete-packages since X ≥ 2 will eat X-a < 2. However, you may need a provides X-a in X ≥ 2 if something in the dependency graph depends on X-a < 2 (dnf repoquery may help you identify those). However, if X ≥ 2 does not actually provide the things dependants expect in X-a the provides will do more harm than good. Those rules are independant of the fedora release and will work the same in devel and in previous releases. Beware of people who request application of rpmlint messages without understanding their meaning will want you to add the provides even when the provide part is not actually provided in the new version.
