Nope, several packages depends on the bluez-5.13-1 package.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
----------------------------

Might even be a worse conflict for other users, depending on installed
packages.  I believe there's no way around re-compiling NetworkManager,
pulseaudio and other GNOME and KDE packages depending on bluez.
