Would it be possible to examine the package before installation, to check for the files it contains against the RPM db or the filesystem ?
Technically, yes. But it would required parsing the RPM header of every downloaded package, iterating through its filelist and searching each entry in the rpmdb. And this would not catch conflicts againts packages of the same transaction. Its probably not worth the effort. Arbitrary file conflicts are very, very seldomly needed.
