As pacman will happily install multiple replacement packages, I would suggest removing the provides= line from libreoffice-common and adding replaces=libreoffice to the split packages that should get installed when upgrading.
And 'libreoffice-langpack' needs to be removed from depends of libreoffice-common. It doesn't make much sense to have it in depends and in optdepends anyway. I think it's better to keep it in optdepends, maybe with a post install note that no language package has been installed.
Because of this someone got his language pack been uninstalled and replaced by a different one by pacman -Syu.
See the bug report I have mentioned earlier.

i thought there was a choosing phase before actually install a language pack when upgrading. the default choice is alphabetically the first, which may caused the problem you just depicted. best regards,
