/usr/sbin/alternatives was supposed to take care of that. If you
will do 'rpm -q --scripts sendmail' then you should see, among other
things, something of that sort:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/sbin/sendmail mta \
/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail 90 \
--slave /usr/bin/mailq mta-mailq /usr/bin/mailq.sendmail \
--slave ( ... and so on, and so on ....)
Apparently something is not right here. Check with what you ended
up in /etc/alternatives/ (should be a bunch of symlinks there and
things like /usr/lib/sendmail, or correspoding manpages, are links
to these). As a workaround you can add for now missing symlinks by
yourself; or you can try to rerun that part of an installation
script and see if this will create all links you need.
I am not sure in which distro /usr/sbin/alternatives showed up
for the first time.

It smells like corresponding config files were not yet rebuilt
the first time but later were present.
