Yes, it will be a problem. Calibre allows only one file of a same format under the book entry, so if you want to keep three epubs of Book X, you need three entrys. If you just want to replace the epub or add mobi to existing epub, it's enough to drag-drop new file into book details - in first case it overwrites existing epub, in latter case adds mobi format.
I have my prefs set so that existing format will be added as duplicate entry, only eyeballing can say which one to delete.
For merging, hit just 'm' on the keyboard - and
read the text in the pop-up window.
