I saw the same thing when updating with pup a few days back. It
complained about not having the correct version of selinux (along with
another dependency problem). I hit OK, unselected the other problematic
rpm, then hit update again and it went through the update fine. It
happened on all three of my F8T2 systems (two x86_64, one i386). This
could be a pup bug but generating the conditions to make it occur again
could be difficult.
