Excerpt from

Changes in MySQL 5.7.14 (2016-07-29)
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-14.html

On RPM-based systems, it is now easier to install multiple client library versions, such as for the case that you want to maintain compatibility with older applications linked against previous libraries. To install an older client library, use the --oldpackage option with rpm. For example, to install mysql-community-libs-5.5 on an EL6 system that has libmysqlclient.20 from MySQL 5.7, use a command like this:

rpm --oldpackage -ivh mysql-community-libs-5.5.50-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
