Perhaps it's somehow a weak dep, i.e. Recommends or
Suggests?  That doesn't seem too likely, but might be worth
checking (rpm -qp --recommends --requires --suggests <rpm>).

Is it possible that the package you're getting from

    dnf install -y ods-python-pylint

isn't the one you're querying with rpm?  You could try using
the path to the ods-python-pylint rpm rather than pulling it
from a repo.

If you have the package spec files and/or srpms online,
maybe someone will spot the issue, if it's in the packaging.
