RPMs are available in the same RPM repo, which actually does not have
this issue:

# ldd /usr/pgsql-13/lib/ogr_fdw.so | grep -i proj
	libproj.so.19 => /usr/proj72/lib/libproj.so.19 (0x00007fe7df219000)

(Though I know that this package needs more attention from me
nowadays).

As Magnus pointed out, I worked on this issue a lot in the last 2
weeks. First of all: Please do not remove that symlink. Removing OS-
supplied proj packages is sufficient (if you are building from source,
please also remove proj-devel package that comes from OS. I could not
find the exact cause why it still also links to the OS-supplied Proj,
but until them please remove OS Proj.

-HTH
