-common often needs to be longer to build and in the archive than the
the rest, so you probably just hit a moment where it was out of sync.

libreoffice-common | 1:6.0.5-1~bpo9+1         | stretch-backports
| all
[...]
libreoffice-common | 1:6.0.6~rc1-1~bpo9+1     | buildd-stretch-backports
| all

Should be in the archive soonish I hope.

No, it's not.

The packages have that dependency for ages to be safe -core and -common
match.
