So as far as I can tell from these errors, as of the sip-4.19.19-1.fc31.x86_64 update, the sip package now is the python3 package.

Uninstalling, doing dnf update, and then reinstalling ros-desktop and ros-desktop-devel seems to have fixed the issue.

I'm now trying to install the fc31 packages on a second machine, and I don't seem to be able to get past this same package conflict involving ros-python_orocos_kdl-melodic depending on python3-sip, which is obsoleted by sip -- despite trying various combinations of installing/uninstalling packages.

python3-sip-devel is needed by (installed) ros-python_orocos_kdl-devel-melodic.1.4.0-3.fc31.x86_64
python3-sip-devel is needed by (installed) python3-qt5-devel-5.13.2-3.fc31.x86_64
sip-devel is needed by (installed) ros-python_orocos_kdl-devel-melodic.1.4.0-3.fc31.x86_64
sip-devel is needed by (installed) ros-rviz-devel-melodic.1.13.7-1.fc31.x86_64
sip-devel is needed by (installed) ros-qt_gui_cpp-devel-melodic.0.3.16-1.fc31.x86_64

Update: I forcibly removed (--nodeps) all the sip and python?-sip[-devel] packages, then reinstalled sip, sip-devel, python3-sip, and python3-sip-devel, and the problem seems resolved on the second machine now.
