I'm a source install junkie so I'm not sure what the problem is, but it
appears that you may need to upgrade to a newer version of the program RPM
to install that RPM if you can't find an RPM file compatible with your
version of RPM.  I'm subscribed to the RPM mailing list so I pasted in the
subscription info. for you:

List-Subscribe: <https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list>,
 <mailto:rpm-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe>

FYI, I'm quite sure there's an archive at the URL above as well.

HTH,
