When updating from KiCad 5 to KiCad 6, a few files have moved from the

If someone has KiCad 5 and its documentation package installed, and then tries
to just upgrade the main package to KiCad 6 (without also updating the docs),
they get an error message like:
Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/share/doc/kicad/scripts/lib_convert.py from install of
kicad-1:6.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package

I think the correct solution is to put this into the main package:
Obsoletes: kicad-docs < 6.0.0
Is that correct, or is there a better way to handle it?
No, that will remove kicad-docs entirely from user systems.
What you want is:
Conflicts: kicad-doc < %{epoch}:%{version}-{release}
If you forget the epoch in this comparison, it won't work properly,
since the existing kicad-doc package will resolve as higher.
Also, I recommend using the version and release macros instead of a
static value, because it will ensure that the docs are always updated
to match the binary.
Thanks for the info. In this case, I don't think it matters too much about the
version/release. It is just that a few files moved from the kicad-doc-5.1.12 package
into the kicad-6.0.0 main package. It shouldn't be a problem going from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1,
for example. A plain "dnf update" should handle that case.
But I'll definitely remember about the epoch - good tip!
