In most systems this happens to work OK because the polkit package is dragged back in through one of several explicit dependencies on polkit, but a truly minimal install will end up losing the daemon.

The obsoletes should probably go to polkit itself so that the new
polkit.x86_64 package obsoletes both polkit.i686 and polkit.x86_64
during upgrades.

-libs shouldn't need any obsoletes or other special handling since other
packages that depend on -libs would just pull in the correct i686 or
x86_64 version as needed.

At least this is how it used to work with yum; might need some testing
to make sure dnf's depsolver handles obsoletes the same way.
