Of course.
File Dependencies
RPM gives you the ability to depend on files instead of packages. Whenever
possible you should avoid file dependencies as they slow down dependency
resolution and require the package manager to download file lists in addition
to to regular dependency information. There are, however, times when other
technical considerations outweigh these considerations. If the files you need
are prone to moving between packages of different names, it can be useful to
depend on those files directly.
I found that a dependency on "setup" package is not common practice:
# dnf repoquery --whatrequires setup|wc -l

Yes, because it usually gets installed by `basesystem` and `filesystem`
packages; if those packages are missing, you broke your system anyways…
