mikem23 created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#4067)

**Describe the bug**
While testing with some RHEL6 rpms, I found that the newer rpm reports them as invalid

**To Reproduce**
Consider this recent httpd errata
```
$ rpm --version
RPM version 4.20.1
$ rpm -Kv httpd-2.2.15-71.el6_10.1.x86_64.rpm 
httpd-2.2.15-71.el6_10.1.x86_64.rpm:
    Header SHA1 digest: OK
    MD5 digest: OK
```

But with newer rpm...
```
# rpm -Kv httpd-2.2.15-71.el6_10.1.x86_64.rpm
httpd-2.2.15-71.el6_10.1.x86_64.rpm:
    Header SHA3-256 digest: NOTFOUND
    Header SHA256 digest: NOTFOUND
    Header SHA1 digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA256 digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA256 ALT digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA3-256 digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA3-256 ALT digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA512 digest: NOTFOUND
    Payload SHA512 ALT digest: NOTFOUND
    Legacy MD5 digest: NOTFOUND
```


The SHA1 and MD5 digest headers are present in the signature header, but rpm version 6 does not find them.
