I found this information on Epoch numbers here http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-depend-manual-dependencies.html
"When RPM can't decipher a package's version number, it's time to pull out the Epoch tag. This tag is used to help RPM determine version number ordering."
It looks like it is a way to deal with same version packages.

It looks like it is a way to deal with same version packages.packages. By default, if one is not specified, it gets a 0 as the Epoch number.
