The libltdl.so.3.0.0 will have a DT_SONAME of "libltdl.so.3".
libltdl.so.0 is, in some way, binary-incompatible, which is why the
soname changed.  Depending on the symbols your program requires, this
may work, but then again, it might not.  To be safe, recompile/relink
against the new libltdl, or install the old libltdl in addition.
