I see nvidia-smi as a binary, not a package.

Try 'urpmf nvidia-smi`

Indeed, nvidia-smi is a command, not a package.  You should find it in x11-driver-video-nvidia-current.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Source RPM: nvidia-smi => nvidia-current
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

sorry, but the command nvidia-smi doesn't work, although the file 
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi does exist:

[alain4@mag6 ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia
dkms-nvidia-current-390.77-1.1.mga6.nonfree
nvidia-current-doc-html-390.77-1.1.mga6.nonfree
nvidia-cuda-toolkit-8.0.61-1.mga6.nonfree
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-390.77-1.1.mga6.nonfree

here attached the return of 
[alain4@mag6 ~]$ rpm -ql x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-390.77-1.1.mga6.nonfree

and although:

[root@mag6 alain4]# LC_ALL=C nvidia-smi
bash: nvidia-smi : commande introuvable
[root@mag6 alain4]# LANGUAGE=C nvidia-smi
bash: nvidia-smi : commande introuvable
[root@mag6 alain4]# LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 nvidia-smi
bash: nvidia-smi : commande introuvable
in english: command not found

but: man nvidia-smi works
my graphic card is an old nvidia GTX9800+

None of your queries show whether /usr/bin/nvidia-smi actually exists on your system currently, you only queried the rpm database but not the actual file.

Best check as root

/usr/bin/nvidia-smi
ls -al /usr/bin/nvidia-smi
rpm -V x11-driver-video-nvidia-current
