Indeed. Up to F17, but not anymore since F18:

  http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/17/x86_64/
  http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/

The 32-bit Skype rpm (for F16?) doesn't depend on "openssl".

But watch this on F20 x86_64:

  # repoquery --releasever=17 --exactdeps --whatrequires 'openssl(x86-32)'
  openssl-devel-1:1.0.0i-1.fc17.i686
  openssl-devel-1:1.0.0k-1.fc17.i686

So, openssl-devel.i686 required openssl.i686 directly.
There have been packaging changes/fixes related to that.
