Technically it would, but this is not the way how "system wide installation" is
supposed to work.

These libs are ordinary shared libs => They belong into %{_libdir}.

Yes, putting them into %{_libdir} is the way to go.

*.pc's have nothing to do with ldd.

*.pc's are helper files to aid compile-time linkage (invoking ld/gcc).

ldd is a tool to check how ld.so* would treat them at run-time.
