This is incorrect. Just as kdelibs can be under the LGPL, this package can too. 
The guidelines explicitly say that the License field should indicate the 
license of the package itself, not the entire linked combination. Now, it is 
true that unless you have a commercial license for Qt, you cannot distribute 
the linked combination under anything other than the GPL. But this still 
doesn't mean the license of the package has to be declared as GPL in the RPM 
License tag, just as in the case of kdelibs.
