That's where either you don't build the python2 version on RHEL, by using a separate spec or with a mass of ifdefs. I guess this hinges on whether having an _srpm_ with the same name as one in RHEL would cause an issue for EPEL, even if there's no conflict with the binary packages. I would guess not as I haven't seen any mention of mass-reviews (or exemptions for such) for python3-* packages in EPEL.
koji operates on package names. It will only get rpms from a package in one place, it won't mix them at all.
So, if RHEL has python-foo and EPEL creates a package named python-foo, it will cause koji to completely and utterly ignore the RHEL python-foo and all rpms it makes.
So, you will need to make python3-foo for python3 support in EPEL where there's a python2 version in RHEL.
