If you have:
(main package)
Obsoletes: %{name} < the-new-version-release
%package tc
Obsoletes: %{name} < the-new-version-release
Both subpackages should get installed on upgrade.
Maybe you already thought about this, but I'd add
Recommends: iproute-tc to the main package, and
Requires: iproute-tc = %{version}-%{release} to tc subpackage.
