*** Bug 233391 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
rpmlib disk space calculation will never be correct until #209306 is fixed.
If the miscalculation was due to #209306 then it should be fixed in current rawhide / f8-test1 - can you verify please?
rpm 4.4.2.1 has been pushed to F7 updates which should fix or at least help considerably. If not, feel free to reopen.
