As long as the directories have the same ownership and permissions,
there is no conflict.  Multiple packages owning a single directory is
not uncommon, and the case is covered in the packaging guidelines:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_file_and_directory_ownership

"
To be specific, you do not need to require a package for the sole fact
that it happens to own a directory that your package places files in. If
your package already requires that package for other reasons, then your
package should not also own that directory.
"

(Yes, the grammar there isn't the best.)
