Makes sense to me - doing the equery on the package that installed the
binary (which may have a name unrelated).
IIUC, there are two tools useful for second/third opinions for this task;
dep and pquery. Here's an example of their use on fftw:
dep -L fftw
pquery --vdb --revdep sci-libs/fftw
And as you idicated, do a revdep-rebuild after the manual deletion.
