The package gets reported with a different size depending on if it is being installed or removed.

When it is being removed, the size reported is the total disk space used
by its files. However, when it is being installed, the size reported is
that of the RPM itself, which contains a compressed tarball of these
files - hence, being almost always being smaller in size than the sum of
the individual files as a whole.
And it would be nice for both of them to "talk" in the same language or better show both eg:
package      download size    install size
fred-1.0.1     100kB             665kB

Along with the totals for the transaction set:
             4.678MB          13.434MB
