Well, I think you are right : Obsoletes doesn't work, or at least need more documentation about how it works.
I followed suggestions from John and Gordon (thanks !) and tried : yum clean yum -v install texlive-20110312-0phn.x86_64.rpm \ texlive-texmf-20110312-0phn.noarch.rpm \ texlive-fontsextra-20110312-0phn.noarch.rpm \ 2>&1 | tee yum.log
but grep -Ei '(obsolete|tetex)' yum.log shows only some i386 tetex packages that are excluded by my yum.conf (exclude=*.i?86).
The following is no more related to Obsoletes :
I tried to install texlive then uninstall tetex despite they both use the same directories to store their packages, and it worked (no need to --force or whatever) ; rpm -V don't find anything to worry about.
Because there is a lot of %post scripts in texlive (to configure what have been installed), I want to run again these scripts after removing tetex. I can do a yum reinstall, but my texlive is close to 500 Mb : is there a way to run the scripts without downloading anything ?
