Within the docs I do not see a recommendation to place the JDBC-driver
both in ${CATALIN_HOME}/lib *AND* WEB-INF:

==============

1. Install Your JDBC Driver

Use of the JDBC Data Sources JNDI Resource Factory requires that you
make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal
classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished
by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib
directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource
factory and to your application.

I'd reconsider my webapps preferabbly:

Why should your webapps require different versions of the same
JDBC-driver? Do you have different instance of MySQL running?
If not, IMHO that doesn't make any sense at all.
