libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by mysql-server-3.23.41-1
So what should I do? Do I need to actually remove the old MySQL first and then install the new one?

You are trying to replace the redhat installed mysql with MySQL:s rpms. Do things in this order and it should work (I don't promise it will work =)

1. do a full mysqldump of all your databases.
2. shutdown and remove mysql with rpm -e <your-old-package>
3. Install the new mysql, start it and check if your databases are intact. Else restore from dumps.
