This is not completely true.  *Only* if the file is marked as
%config(noreplace) it will never be replaced and the new file
(if the new rpm includes a different file than the old rpm)
is stored with a .rpmnew suffix.

If a file is just marked as %config it can still be replaced, but
only if the new rpm has a different config file than the old rpm.
Your own config file (if you had changed that) will then be saved
with a .rpmsave suffix.
