Just master/rawhide? Or all branches? So you should add Provides, not just obsoletes to ensure a clean upgrade between releases. Also ensure that any packages have their dependencies to require the replacement, this just looks to be hadoop and qt-virt-manager. On branches, once a release is out you can't block a package, you can push updates to other packages that obsolete/provide it so it's replaced but because the f24 (as an example) is locked it'll always be there, so you should just retire it in rawhide (master in the fedpkg checkout) with a "fedpkg retire 'retirement message details'".
