Yes, this would also apply to that scenario. You can create a
lame-epel package that has a lame subpackage, as long as none of the
files conflict with lame-devel and lame-libs from RHEL8. You would
also want to relax the requirement on lame-libs by removing the
%{release}, so that way you can bump the release on the epel package
and still have the requirement satisfied by the RHEL lame-libs.
-Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}-%{release}
+Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}
