No, I don't see incoherencies.
I see that it says, for instance, that you have ncurses-devel-5.6-36 which
requires also ncurses of version 5.6-36. And a lot more, but no
incoherencies.
What I propose is that you remove manually ncurses-devel-5.6-36
ncurses-devel-5.6-37 ncurses-devel-5.6-24 ncurses-devel-5.6-36
ncurses-devel-5.6-37 ncurses-devel-5.6-24 ncurses-devel-5.6-24, all of
them, using the command line rpm.
