No, don't help.

This line

Provides:       iptraf-ng = %{version}

is implicit any way. 

This line

Obsoletes:      iptraf <= 3.0.1-10

is correct.

This means when iptraf-ng is installed iptraf is removed, I guess you want that
to happen

Now if some installed package A have a dep on iptraf,
rpm/yum will refuse to install iptraf-ng as iptraf is removed with nothing to
satisfy the dep package A has on iptraf. So we solve that by adding

Provides:       iptraf = %{version}-%{release}

in iptraf-ng.spec, letting iptraf-ng satisfy the dep pacakge A has on iptraf.

However, we have just obsoleted iptraf <= 3.0.1-10, when
%{version}-%{release} < 3.0.1-10 the package obsoletes itself, not good.

I see two options:

- adjust %{version} to be > 3.0.1

or use this line

Provides:       iptraf = 3.0.1-11
