Correction, via RPM you can not do the above… you have to be much more specific:

Conflicts: drizzle <= X.Y
Provides: drizzle X.Y.Z


Where the Provides is at least '1' higher than the conflict.  That said, this 
does not fly in Fedora… as there are explicit package guidelines that state 
that nothing in Fedora/EPEL can hard conflict with another package.
