The changelog times are not stored as date strings in the binary RPM header, but most likely are preconverted to ordinary time() values by rpmbuild, assuming arbitrary values for the missing h:m:s (possibly 0:0:0).
They're stored as seconds-since-the-epoch - see CHANGELOGTIMES in an rpm query.
And more specifically, the date in the specfile is interpreted as noon on that day, UTC.
