If you like an opinion, it is that Conflicts are difficult to mantain also for a knowledge packager. There
are reason for conflicts but, no matter when, it is best, if possible, to try to rename the package via obsoletes/Provides.
Only an opinion.

(if the Obsoletes/Provides tags in it are correct).
The rawhide broken deps checker cannot detect this as it no longer sees
the old phono-backend-gstreamer. (and I think the repoclosure version that
is used doesn't handle obsoletes yet anyway)
Conflicts are not dependency issues and are not checked for.
