Actually, it's the older libraries (krb5-libs-1.2.7-10) that you
should be removing.

..but in general you don't need -devel packages unless you are
compiling software, so in a situation where you *did* want to get
rid of krb5-libs-1.2.7-14, you could just do this:

   rpm -e krb5-libs-1.2.7-14 krb5-devel-1.2.7-14
