Yes:

$ rpm -qp --provides MySQL-server-standard-4.1.14-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
MySQL
MySQL-server
config(MySQL-server-standard) = 4.1.14-0.rhel4
msqlormysql
mysql
mysql-server
MySQL-server-standard = 4.1.14-0.rhel4
$ rpm -qp --obsoletes MySQL-server-standard-4.1.14-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
MySQL
mysql
mysql-server

So it should simply replace the existing package during update. If not,
please file a bug report at http://bugs.mysql.com about it, thanks!

Bye,
