They don't actually refer to liberation-fonts-2.00.3-1, but to liberation-
narrow-fonts, which liberation-fonts-2.00.3-1 claims to Provide, but does 
not actually provide.

So the correct fix is to force the installation of liberation-narrow-fonts 
and then to ignore the invalid "broken dependency" warning from DNF that 
wants to downgrade liberation-fonts because it processes obsolete Obsoletes 
(a DNF bug that the DNF developers refuse to fix), see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1748187

But the good news is that the liberation-narrow-fonts maintainers have 
reacted and bumped the Epoch of liberation-narrow-fonts so that the broken 
Obsoletes in liberation-fonts-2.00.3-1 no longer apply:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-2b29cee6f9
and this update was pushed to stable a few minutes ago, so hopefully DNF 
will be able to resolve the dependencies when the mirrors sync up.
