Which dependency is "this?"

for x in control-center gnome-bluetooth gnome-shell orca ; do (rpm -ql 
$x | xargs ldd | grep libnm) 2>/dev/null ; done

Of those, orca and gnome-bluetooth depend on a working control-center. 
There is no feature of rpm that allows a package to allow a dependency 
to be partially broken.  Control center's dependency isn't artificial, 
so I'm not sure what you're referring to.  It is definitely linked to 
NetworkManager's libraries, and the dependency will be added by rpmbuild.
