You should probably ask this question on the fedora-legal mailing list
(on Cc).
Without looking at the code, the answer is "maybe".
If the libraries are composed of a combination of LGPLv3+ and GPLv3+
sources, then it would be accurate to simplify to "License: GPLv3+".
If the package contains some libraries under LGPLv3+, and some binaries
which are under GPLv3+, then "License: LGPLv3+ and GPLv3+" is appropriate.
Hope that helps,
