I think you've jumped to a false conclusion. Look:

---> Package rpm-devel.i386 0:4.6.0-2.fc10 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: rpm = 4.6.0-2.fc10 for package: rpm-devel
---> Package rpm-libs.i386 0:4.6.0-2.fc10 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: rpm = 4.6.0-2.fc10 for package: rpm-libs

rpm-devel-4.6.0-2.fc10.i386 from updates has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: rpm = 4.6.0-2.fc10 is needed by package   
rpm-devel-4.6.0-2.fc10.i386 (updates)


What the heck? Why would the metadata know about rpm-devel-4.6.0-2.fc10
and rpm-libs-4.6.0-2.fc10 but not rpm-4.6.0-2.fc10? They all belong to
the same "rpm" package build-job and update request:

  rpm-4.6.0-2.fc10 bugfix update

  This update has been pushed to stable

That was a week ago, btw.
