I think you are not using the rpm query correctly. Look at the yum

Why in the shell should I have to have evolution and evolution-sharp
which depend on beagle in order to have beagle itself?
Ah, yes, I see. Watch carefully, nothing up my sleeve.
$ rpm -q --whatrequires `rpm -q --provides evolution`

evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.3

And that (apparently ibeshell.so.0) is the only reason you need evo.
Maybe libeshell.so.0 should be in evo-data-server instead. You could try
filing a bug.
But evolution was not my original complaint. My complaint was that
the clock can't be used unless you also install evolution-data-server.
I just wanted a clock. In reality, You can't install FC5 with gnome
unless you install evolution-data-server.
That's not totally unreasonable. evo-data-server is a common backend for
a lot of things--sort of the dbus of gnome.
$ rpm -q --whatrequires `rpm -q --provides evolution-data-server`
