IMO, you're doing nothing wrong, it's a dnf/rpm bug. dnf is supposed to
implicitly Obsoletes/replace older packages of the same name (in general,
though there are exceptions like "kernel")
Occurs to me you could avoid/skip relying on the implicit replacement, and
make it *explicit*, but adding
Obsoletes: llvm-devel < 4.0.0-13
to the new llvm-devel subpkg
