why does "yelp" claim to be part of the (rpm) subsection?

  following up on a thread we've got going on the fedora list, is
there a reason that "man -k yelp" appears to claim that it's in the
"rpm" section of documentation?

$ man -k yelp
yelp                (rpm) - A system documentation reader from the Gnome project
$

  and even if the yelp package is installed, there's no man page for
it:

$ man yelp
No manual entry for yelp
$

  so what means the "(rpm)" above?  thanks.

p.s.  the same question can be asked of the output of

$ man -k xorg
