Let me rephrase:
Previous package build: 0.36-1
This update: 1:0.22-2
Why is the -devel subpackage 0:0.35 as I quoted?
The 0.36-1 release already did:
Obsoletes: libopensync-plugin-evolution2-devel < 0.35
Provides: libopensync-plugin-evolution2-devel = 0.35
With a downgrade to 1:0.22, -devel goes from 0.35 to 0:0.35?
(no Epoch and explicit zero Epoch doesn't make a different, btw)
You are correct, I did not look closely enough. This is nonsense.

Why the "Provides" then?
Most likely because of a bad interpretation of
