No, doesn't seem so, I found a way to check that in Python:

[filbranden at adm2 ~]$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 27 2009, 17:57:39)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpm
>>> rpm.labelCompare(('0', '2.45', '1.1.el5_3'), ('0', '2.45', '1.el5_2.1'))
1

"1" means the first parameter is the greater version ("-1" would be the second).

Cheers,
Filipe
