You're complicating things far more than they need to be.

yum install rpmdevtools

rpmdev-setuptree

rpmbuild --rebuild whatever.src.rpm

cd ~/rpmbuild

See the RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS and SRPMS subdirectories.  Look inside for
stuff.

Read the rpmbuild manpage for many other wonderful things, such as -bb
using a spec file (in the SPECS directory, of course) to create a new
rpm and srpm after modifying stuff in SOURCES.
