Pathological case?
Forcing the install of a duplicate library package when there is a
soname version bump and there isn't a compat package and you want to
keep the old library version on your local system?
Then the soname doesn't match, so it will DTRT anyway. If the soname
is the same, you'll only have the new library on the system, so the
cache can't be 'stale' there either in a way that gives you the wrong
library.
