CentOS, Red Hat and Fedora use an NEVR model
(Name-Epoch-Version-Release) for version control.

This command shows that libvorbis has an epoch of 1:

[root at m4500 ~]# rpm -q --qf '%{epoch}\n' libvorbis
1

The default Epoch, if undefined, is (none) ... or 0.

You need to set the epoch in your spec file to at least 1 to make it
newer than the installed libvorbis.

See this link to read about epoch:
