It looks to me that they have all sorts of spurious provides:
$ rpm -qp --provides plexmediaserver-1.9.7.4460-a39b25852.x86_64.rpm 
[... snipped long list of spurious provides ...]
Someone should file an issue with the plex.tv folks and point them at 
the documenation for filtering unwanted provides¹.

I ended up checking the Plex forums and found a post where someone 
else from this list brought up some other packaging issues (hi 
Richard! ;).
I added some comments regarding the spurious provides (along with 
sample code to filter them, since complaints are usually easier to 
hear when they are followed by solutions).  The thread is here:

With luck, a future plexmediaserver package will incorporate the provides filtering.
