This is not a bug.

The feature got requested in bug 863579.

Three RHEV-H versions will be kept around until th eoldest one is replaced.

Just to ensure, vercmp shows that the upgradepath is sane:
$ rpmdev-vercmp \
  rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131204.0.3.2.el6_5.noarch \
  rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20140112.0.el6ev.noarch
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131204.0.3.2.el6_5.noarch
 <
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20140112.0.el6ev.noarch
