Sure they can. If you install the KDE runtime and the GNOME runtime,
these are both built upon the Freedesktop runtime and share a huge
number of files. Any duplicate files get deduplicated on disk -- you
don't even download the duplicates when you update either or both of
them.
That's pretty cool (thanks, ostree), even if not ideal (binaries have
to be bit-identical). However, given that Fedora Flatpaks will be built
by koji using Fedora buildroots, this should work just fine.
Now, if only the runtime could be constructed "virtually"
(symlinks/hardlinks?) using the installed RPMs if the binaries match...
