You are using the wrong version of RPM.  You need to use the version (RPM5) that
is configured by the system during the filesystem generation, along with the
platform file (/etc/rpm/platform) to specify to the system what is allowed.

RPM4 (which it sounds like you are using) does not have an easily adjustable
table of package names.  To install Yocto Project packages, you will need to
patch it to define the additional names.
