If what you're saying is true (that this may confuse the solver) then the wiki
should be updated:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_dependencies#Merging_a_package.

Also, Fedora does exactly the same thing (self obsoleting):
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/util-linux.git/tree/util-linux.spec.

Already done, see comment 3 ;-)

So you mean:

Obsoletes: rfkill < 0.5-8.7
Provides: rfkill = 0.5-8.7

CCing dimstar since he's not fan of "Obsoletes:" with revision number and he
had made a comment on my submit request about that
(https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/561007).
