Ah, that explains it, it's an off-by-one error. last release of rxvt is
2.7.10-36 but the Obsoletes in rxvt-unicode is for <= 2.7.10-36, and
that should be 37 or higher because of %{?dist}.

I bumped the N-V-R and issued updates:
F32 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-0632e9328a
F33 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-a2f2c29e27
F34 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-5a6e035c19
F35 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-d67970ea5a

Fair enough, I'll plan on writing our own in-house obsolete package
then, if our security folks deem it necessary. Thanks!
