If this is the case for samba, use 'BuildRequires: pkgconfig(string) [>= version]' in spec files. Hard rpm package names will cause trouble if packages are renamed.

That's what I was looking after actually, but unfortunately the new
packages don't have a unique "pkgconfig(string)" which makes them
distinguishable enough, at least not from the PMBS config point of view.
The change wouldn't be necessary, if Essentials would get an additional

  <path project="openSUSE.org:openSUSE:Leap:15.3" repository="standard"/>

*after* the existing

  <path project="openSUSE.org:openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update" repository="standard"/>

which is what I suggested in my second e-mail.

Without the base repo in the path list, the resolver isn't able to
deduce that it should install package "samba-devel" instead of
"libsmbclient-devel", thus resulting in the conflicts list.

I'm afraid, the two options I suggested so far are the only ones I can
come up with :(
