from the changelog:
* Wed Aug 14 2013 Jay Fenlason <fenlason at redhat.com> 1.4.3-2
* Also include 1.5.3 libraries so users of RHEL-6.5+ can run
  programs compiled on RHEL-6.2-
  Resolves: rhbz876315

* Thu Oct 13 2011 Jay Fenlason <fenlason at redhat.com> 1.4.3-1
- New compat package to make users of openmpi-1.4 on RHEL-6 happy.
  Resolves: rhbz741009

so the support for 1.5.3 is on purpose, no idea if both 1.4.3 and 1.5.3 should
be both available at the same time, or if the support for 1.5.3 is also backward
compatible with 1.4.3. I would need to search ;)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876315 is not public :(

Cheers,
