They are not lock files, but rather files that contain lock names.
See the locks by doing
cd /var/lib/rpm
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_stat -CA
rpmdb_stat is just db_stat from db4-utils, see doco at www.sleppycat.com
or in the db4-utils package.
Yes, the __db* files are persistent.
Yes, there should be no locks displayed when rpm -s not running.
