this will work probably from *any* ftp server, though i never tried
anything else but SuSE's.

rpm -i <A HREF="ftp://servername/path/rpmfile";><A HREF="ftp://servername/path/rpmfile</A">ftp://servername/path/rpmfile</A</A>> (same with update -U)

but to the Michaels original question:
SuSE 5.0 was the first attempt to rpm files.
the rpm-format has changed ever since. that's why it does not work. 
Look into the SDB. There is an Artikle regarding this. Update rpm first.
