Yes, if they notice!
They - rsp. the maintainers of dependent packages - (usually) will notice
very soon, because they'll receive an email notifying them about the
breakage.
AFAICT, those "broken deps in rawhide" mails are only sent if there is a
compose, and during the past weeks, there have been few of those ... so
breakage is sometimes allowed to sit unnoticed (and grow increasingly
worse) for very long.
This is why I would be strongly in favor of adding something like
"Packagers MUST NOT use globs in %files lists that cover up sonames of
shared libraries in %{_libdir}" to the Packaging Guidelines.
