Because you've _not_ asked for the x86_64 lib. That one is marked
differently in the packages:

  # repoquery --whatprovides 'libunique-1.0.so.0()(64bit)'
  unique-0:1.1.6-10.fc20.x86_64

  # yum whatprovides 'libunique-1.0.so.0()(64bit)'Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
  unique-1.1.6-10.fc20.x86_64 : Single instance support for applications
  Repo        : fedora
  Matched from:
  Provides    : libunique-1.0.so.0()(64bit)

  # yum install 'libunique-1.0.so.0()(64bit)'
  …

Yes, it's wrong. ;-)

No need to go there, since libunique is include with Fedora.
