Lupin was more of a rival to Holmes in the sense of a well-received book series, and each one was compared to the other because of their similar subject matter. The characters are both fictional and never actually met each other in any of their books except for the "Arsene Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes" series of tales.
You can guess that they had to swap around the letters' of Holmes' name because of copyright issues from the Sherlock Holmes novels' original author.
