Wouldn't that conflict with:

"MUST: If the package contains shared library files located in the
dynamic linker's default paths, that package must call ldconfig in
%post and %postun. If the package has multiple subpackages with
libraries, each subpackage should also have a %post/%postun section
that calls /sbin/ldconfig."

In this case, there is a versioned .so[1] present in the main package,
with an unversioned library in -devel, per guidelines.  There isn't a
symlink from the unversioned to the versioned being created.

[1]  It's versioned, but 0.0.0.
