First, it's a mistake here to use "locate". It does not matter what
files are installed on your local disk. All that matters is what files
will _still_ (!) be tracked in the RPM database after installing the
new packages. Update packages can move/remove files. Especially when
dealing with online repositories, use tools like "yum whatprovides
..." or "repoquery --whatprovides ...".

I don't think that is the problem.
I did in fact run
----------------------------------
[tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo rpm -qf /usr/lib/libkonq.so.4
kdebase-3.5.8-3.fc7
----------------------------------
So it seems that libkonq.so.4 is in fact present,
in the place where kdebase put it.

Note that this is _before_ running yum. I've only pointed out that in
a yum/rpm transaction stuff can be removed, too, and it would not be
available anymore.

However, in your case, there is a different problem:

As far as I can see, there is no attempt to replace kdebase.
On trying to install kdebase-devel,
I get an error message telling me that a number of libraries,
most if not all of which (like libkonq) are already installed,
are not found.

Here is the full transaction:

Too many plugins for my taste. Even Presto enabled. Can't comment on that.
