I got this far: when doing dnf install R-CRAN-matlib
the command comes back with a boatload of dependencies, including the request to install R-CRAN-R6.
R-R6 as an F32 rpm is already installed; there are other instances where an RPM-CRAN-* rpm is requested to be installed as a dependency when the comprable F32 rpm is already installed.
This doesn't seem to be prudent.

The packages are, by design, parallel installable with Fedora's packages.
FWIW there is a mailing list specialized in the relation between R and Fedora: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
Most of the Fedora R packagers are there, including Iñaki who created the rpm cran repository, so it is a nice place to ask these questions.
BTW what are the results when you run
dnf list R-R6
