If you still have the old package (which could have been reconstructed with
the --repackage option of urpmi), rpm can upgrade to an older version using
the --oldpackage option. So, if the dependencies are sill met with the old
package you won't have the uninstall problem.
I don't think urpmi support that, but if rpm can do it, it should not be to
hard to add it to urpmi.
