$ rpm -q --scripts emacs
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/alternatives --remove emacs /usr/bin/emacs-29.4 || :
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/emacs emacs
/usr/bin/emacs-29.4 80 || :

I think that preuninstall scriptlet should instead be:

if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
  /usr/sbin/alternatives --remove emacs /usr/bin/emacs-29.4 || :
fi

See 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_syntax.
If that sounds right, a bug report is in order.
