Every RPM package that contains shared libraries runs ldconfig as part of its post install scripts. Note that /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so isn't added to the ldconfig cache, I am not a dev but this isn't really a shared library like say /lib64/libgtk-3.so.0 . (ldconfig search certain paths for shared libraries to add to the cache, and /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/ isn't in that path).
