"There could possibly occur a dangerous situation when lvm2 version increases, %{device_mapper_version} wouldn't change but because of lower %release "
The %release is NOT lower in such circumstances: your scenario does not arise.
Releases that only affect lvm2, not dm, are rare anyway and unlikely ever to arise in RHEL. (Version numbers are controlled by upstream and both always change in a .y RHEL release, and neither changes in a .z release.)

device-mapper* subpackages of lvm2 package have different version than main lvm2 package. device-mapper NVR is glued together from %{device_mapper_version} and lvm2's %{release}. There could possibly occur a dangerous situation when lvm2 version increases, %{device_mapper_version} wouldn't change but because of lower %release the resulting device-mapper's NVR would be lower than what was already shipped to customers.
