Only if the package's manifest changed between the versions being
upgraded 'from' and 'to' in the update that failed.

This happens more often then you think.  Try 'rpm -qd <package>'.  A
serious chances are that if you just removed a duplicate only from an
rpm database then the whole directory in /usr/share/doc/ got orphaned.
Not, not always but often enough.  There are numerous other situations
when a corresponding manifest changed between versions.  A layout
changed, for example.

On the long run I'd rather not to have various orphaned files lying
around.  Maybe there are innocuous but I prefer not to spent my time
thinking about it.

Well, up until you mentioned it, I wasn't spending my time thinking about it either. ;)
