Calling /sbin/ldconfig from postun is recommended on fedora < 28 (and 
thus I presume rhel7), according to:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/

The wiki page in the git commit also indicates that previously packages 
would call /sbin/ldconfig on postun too, with the %postun -p 
/sbin/ldconfig call
