Update rpm package via .rpm file ?

Hi everyone.

I'm newer on bazzite (and fedora too) and I don't known if it's possible to update a rpm package via a .rpm file.

I've a GoXLR so I need drivers. I've found this repo so i've installed via rpm-ostree install file_downloaded.rpm.
It's work, but their is a new update available. So I downloaded the new .rpm file : https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-utility/releases/tag/v1.2.3
And when I an install :

1randhomme@bazzite:~/Téléchargements$ rpm-ostree install goxlr-utility-1.2.3-1.x86_64.rpm

So I've tried rpm-ostree upgrade & rpm-ostree update but doesn't do anything more.

Must I have to uninstall package first before install again the new file ?
Solution
Im pretty sure you have to remove the old installed rpm first, then install the new rpm
