I think you have it backwards.   The xorg-x11-drv-nvidia gets
installed first, and the livna package for the proprietary nvidia
driver goes in after, and it depends on xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.

I'll prove it to you by removing an old kernel and a kernel module
from the CLI with rpm.

Observe: no errors here!

# rpm -e kernel-2.6.22.1-20.fc7 kmod-nvidia-100.14.11-1.2.6.22.1_20.fc7
