 In summary, the problem you're having is that you use an rpm produced by a
version that has that capability (lzma payload) enabled on a system that has
a version of rpm that have not  the implementation to treat that capability.

Follow a more long explanation if interested.

rpm --showrc
.....

Features supported by rpmlib:
    rpmlib(BuiltinLuaScripts) = 4.2.2-1
    rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
    rpmlib(ConcurrentAccess) = 4.1-1
    rpmlib(ExplicitPackageProvide) = 4.0-1
    rpmlib(FileCaps) = 4.6.1-1
    rpmlib(FileDigests) = 4.6.0-1
    rpmlib(HeaderLoadSortsTags) = 4.0.1-1
    rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) = 4.0.4-1
    rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
    rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) = 3.0.5-1
    rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) = 4.4.2-1
    rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) = 5.2-1
    rpmlib(ScriptletInterpreterArgs) = 4.0.3-1
    rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) = 3.0.3-1

for rpm --version (e.g. fc12)

rpm --version
RPM version 4.7.2

Instead on RHEL

Features supported by rpmlib:
    rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) = 3.0.3-1
        PreReq:, Provides:, and Obsoletes: dependencies support versions.
    rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
        file name(s) stored as (dirName,baseName,dirIndex) tuple, not as
path.
    rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) = 3.0.5-1
        package payload can be compressed using bzip2.
    rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
        package payload file(s) have "./" prefix.
    rpmlib(ExplicitPackageProvide) = 4.0-1
        package name-version-release is not implicitly provided.
    rpmlib(HeaderLoadSortsTags) = 4.0.1-1
        header tags are always sorted after being loaded.
    rpmlib(ScriptletInterpreterArgs) = 4.0.3-1
        the scriptlet interpreter can use arguments from header.
    rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) = 4.0.4-1
        a hardlink file set may be installed without being complete.
    rpmlib(ConcurrentAccess) = 4.1-1
        package scriptlets may access the rpm database while installing.
    rpmlib(BuiltinLuaScripts) = 4.2.2-1
        internal support for lua scripts.

rpm --version
RPM version 4.4.2.3

but the capability
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) = 4.4.2-1
seems apparently wrong  because rpm 4.4.2 in RHEL  does not have this
capability.

But here is the explanation from @rpm.org git repo

git show fa089855

commit fa0898552d3c52249bc41e8104eda02c1bbd3359
Author: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai at redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 18 11:24:52 2009 +0200

    Add support for "lzma alone" compression format (lzdio)
    - "lzma alone" is superseeded by XZ but it's used by Suse and Mandriva
      distros so it's nice to have as it doesn't need much, only open
differs
      from XZ
    - rpmlib() dependency versions are an uuuuuuuugly mess here: Suse used
      "PayloadIsLzma = 4.4.2-1" so that's what we provide to be most
compatible
      (hopefully). Built packages require "PayloadIsLzma <= 4.4.6-1" however
      to be compatible with Mandriva 2008.0. Did I already say it's ugly?
