It's actually part of generic guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership

Quoting:
"Packages must own all directories they put files in, except for:[snip]"

Since javadoc subpackages put files in /usr/share/javadoc they must
require package that provides this directory. I guess it wouldn't hurt
to repeat this in Java guidelines separately. Next guideline iteration I
guess...
