No, its provides are fine. The problem is that they are later versions
than those provided by the previous release, e.g.

libecal-1.2.so.6 instead of libecal-1.2.so.3
libedata-cal-1.2.so.5 instead of libedata-cal-1.2.so.1

All the packages that depend on these libraries (e.g. gnoem-panel,
evolution-connector, evolution-sharp) need to be rebuilt against the
updated evolution-data-server, which should not have been released until
that had happened.
