I don't think I made a mistake. This is the standard way we handle shared
libraries in Fedora. 
- .so goes to devel
- .so.* go to the main package (or to the -libs subpackage if there is a 
  further split)

You can verify this by checking any shared library installed in your system.
    rpm -ql libogg
    rpm -ql libogg-devel
    rpm -ql libXinerama
    rpm -ql libXinerama-devel
etc.

When you are building a shared library, the compiler (or ld) needs the .so
file. During runtime, on the other hand, the linker takes care of this and it
will point your application to the correct .so.* file. So the .so file is only
needed during building.
