If there are no other users of lua-5.2 in Fedora, then you could simply replace the bundled source with latest upstream (currently 5.2.4) and ship it bundled (recording the bundling with Provides: bundled(lua) = 5.2.4). If something else in Fedora still requires lua-5.2.x then the best option is to package lua52 separately and patch Darktable to use the system version. You should also find out if there will be another release of lua-5.2.x or if 5.2.4 was the last one. If it was the last one, then you'd better try convincing the Darktable maintainers to migrate to lua-5.3.
