Taking a deeper look, this is reason to be worried. Because libcurl.x86_64 should
be installed. It's needed by too many other packages, such as systemd, see:

  rpm -q --whatrequires 'libcurl.so.4()(64bit)'

And libcurl depends on libidn, see:

  rpm -q --whatrequires 'libidn.so.11()(64bit)'

Even systemd is in the output again. So, a missing package libidn.x86_64 on
an x86_64 installation is severe breakage on your machine.
