Check the epoch of the two packages. The epoch overrides all other version
comparison logic. If they have the same epoch, RPM considers them to be the
same version. I had that problem with the Oracle JDK RPMs. They all have the
epoch set to 2000, so it's impossible to either upgrade or install both
versions concurrently. I think "rpm -qip <package>" will show it, but if not
you can do "rpm -qp --queryformat='%{EPOCH}\n' <package>".
