--dbpath option can be used in cases where users don't want createrepo to use system rpm db to avoid possible collisiouns with other programs.
For bitbake builds it would be possible to specify different databases even for every createrepo run. Considering that rootfs builds can run multiple createrepo in parallel, it can help to avoid race conditions caused by accessing or creating the same rpm database by multiple createrepo instances at the same time.
