It probably doesn't need to.
If so, I'm guessing there are "lots of these".
The cases where you have to add it are:
1. You have a dep. from pkgA to pkgB where the arch _must_ be the same
(Eg. any dep. on coreutils doesn't require a specific arch, because you
are just running a program).
2. pkgA doesn't have anything that would require the correct arch. (so
anything with a libpkgB.so()(64bit) shouldn't have any explicit
requires, and will just work).
3. pkgB is multilib.
...the "majority" of cases where it's a problem are things that have
deps. on *-devel pkgs. Esp. if you have pkgA-devel requires pkgB-devel,
usually the only way to do that is via. an explicit requires on
pkgB-devel%{_isa}.
Obviously you can still do it if #3 isn't true, but it's not as big a
deal.
