This one is actually pretty straightforward.  You have  
dev-python/sphinx-5.0.2 installed which requires a version of  
dev-python/docutils LESS THAN 0.19.  I suspect you were looking for  
conflicts in the USE flags, where there aren't any (that I see.)   It  
looks like you either need to downgrade docutils or accept (at least  
temporarily) a testing version of sphinx.
