RPM upgrade does not uninstall previous version of the package installed
I have two builds (Build1 and Build2) of the current version of an rpm package. I use 'rpm -U' (rpm upgrade) to install it.
Build1 works as expected, where the previous version is uninstalled after the new version is installed.
Build2 does not uninstall the previous version. This leaves both versions of the package on the system (Centos 7).
I am trying to find out what is causing this difference in behavior. I used the '-vv' option to output debug logs and it looks like Build2 does not even try to uninstall the previous version.
The spec file of each build is the same from what I can see and only the contents seem to differ slightly. The rpm does not have any pre, post, preun, or postun scripts.
What could be the possible causes of this behavior?

While your second package filename is 'i686'. It is actually for x86_64 architecture according the Requires (see '(64bit)').
So rpm treat it as multilib and happily install i686 and x86_64 side by side.
