My thinking this would need to be two-fold.

Firstly, both of these packages can provide some sort of virtual (such
as "wordpress-core" or something reasonable) so that anything which
needs "a generic wordpress installation" can run with both of them.

Then they would both need to provide an addition to the RPM macros such
as %wordpress_datadir which can be either of these two depending on the
providing package.

Secondly, a spec for a plugin file could install their contents to that
macro-ified directory, containing files section containing something to
the effect of:

%files
%{wordpress_datadir}/plugins/%{name}/
[...]

My $0.02. :)
