Yeah, I'm aware of this. There is -2 of xorgxrdp in testing, which is built against 1.19.6, but it didn't make it into stable yet. I contacted X11 maintainer privately to try to resolve this more permanently, but didn't get a reply yet.
Assigning to X11 temporarily to see what the proper solution for this may be.

Please build a new version of xorgxrdp to work with xorg-x11-server-common.x86_64 1.20.1-5.el7, deployed with RHEL 7.6 updates, November 2018. This is urgent, impacting customer systems that operate via RDP only.
Thank you --- I found the new version (0.2.8-3) today. It works! I had being trying -1 from last week, which failed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
There's been some over-zealous closing/duplicating of bugs going on here. Although the immediate problem has been solved, there is still an underlying problem that versions of these things are too tightly bound such that EVERY TIME RHEL releases a new version it breaks the EPEL rpm, then when that gets fixed, it wont work with CentOS until they update to complete the cycle. A long term solution is needed, rather than just working around it by recompiling stuff and living with broken dependencies for a few weeks. See bug 1644659, bug 1533122, bug 1534145, bug 1534697, bug 1533122. At lest one of them needs to remain open...
F27 is EOL.
