Description

This BZ explains the situation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1869431

This bug exists (existed?) in Pulp 2, which the BZ above mentions. As it turns out, Katello's implementation of yum applicability has this issue as well. In Pulp 2, however, the issue was related to cross-repository applicability. In our Pulp 3 applicability implementation, the bug will show up with one single repository.

The newer, non-modular RPM should not be shown as applicable since dnf will not replace a modular RPM with a non-modular one.
