As far as I can tell, flash player isn't required for Chrome. I removed flash-plugin-11.2.202.350-release.x86_64 and went to Adobe's site. The test for shockwave player fails (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) but the test for flash itself works (https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/), saying "You have version 13,0,0,206 installed."
According to Adobe, Chrome for Linux has flash built in: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html
$ rpm -qa |grep chrome google-chrome-stable-34.0.1847.132-1.x86_64

You are correct. Chrome has a flashplayer builtin. If one uses chrome://plugins as the URL and has the Adobe plugin installed, as I do, they would see something like this.

Note that I have the builtin player (libpepflashplayer.so) disabled at the moment since there is a problem when using that with mlb.com live games.

Hi Ed, Just as a side issue to this, how do you get chrome to provide what you have shown? I know chrome has flash built in, and the adobe installer installs the plugin in /usr/lib64, plus I have a link to the adobe plugin in /usr/lib because the upstream 64-bit Firefox wants its plugins in /usr/lib, what I can't account for is the 4th plugin. If I use chrome://plugins in the browser I get the following display (the following display is how the chrome output is represented in Thunderbird as a result of a copy and paste, not how it is displayed in chrome):

If you look at the very top line you should see....over in the right hand side "+Details". Click on that to expand the list.
Hi Ed, Thankyou, that worked great. The 4th plugin appears to be the Adobe installer installing a version into the chrome plugin directory (I should have expected this).
regards, Steve
