something tells me RPM will not allow you to have same version of

installed twice (or would it?). So it might not be the problem
anyhow...
rpm has always permitted multiple instances of packages to be
installed with -i.
Even identical. version and release, previously installed files are
marked as REPLACED.
OTOH, having multiply installed identical packages -- even if
relocated -- is extremely
confusing. The far molre maintainable solution is to rebuild the
package with whatever
paths you want.
E.g. examine
rpm -q kernel | wc
