Those are "ghost" files. They don't have to exist for the system to be
valid, but if they do exist, they are owned by the RPM package.
These files are part of the RPM database mechanisms (actually berkleyDB).

Dear All,
Could you please explain why rpm packages builders are defining spec
file with empty files inside?
e.g. the rpm package for rpm utility defines empty files __db.000,
__db.001, ...., __db.009, but I cannot find any file on my
system...and rpm -Vv seems to be happy....is it checking only not
empty files?
Thx
