I saw the same thing on my frontend. I ended up doing some nasty 'rpm
-e --nodeps' on libmyth and then manually installing the new libmyth*
packages. Then I got the packages I expected. So it's only a bug
transitioning from the old libmyth/mythtv to the new one. Once the new
ones are in I only get the dependencies I expect.
