Don't. It should just work. The version of both the x86_64 and i686
packages is the same, _normally_, because both builds of the package
are put into the repository at the same time.

What do you get for

  dnf list libgcrypt
  rpm -qa libgcrypt\*

?

The 1.7.9-1.fc26 release is available in updates for two weeks or so.

Unfortunately, you've truncated the dnf output, so not much is known.
It's also interesting that dnf doesn't protect against multilib breakage.
