One is generated by dependency generator and one is specified manually. I think RPM should automatically merge them.

If one is manual and the other is from a generator, they're not actually equivalent because one is a file dependency (and so in theory, subject to file install policies etc) and the other is not.

Oh and rpm keeps track of automatic vs manual in the bits too. Add -v to the queries to see the differences.
