It looks like one could simply prepend

There you have your "wrapper script": export PATH="%{_qt5_bindir}:$PATH"
As pointed out, I would have preferred a brief %description or README.Fedora as a quickstart rather than examining package contents and trying to figure out whether something is is the right way to do it and not only a work-around. It could also have been that setting environment variables would be _the_ way to point Qt detection configure scripts at the right places.
Obviously, adjusting $PATH is what I've done as a work-around, albeit not using the RPM macro, because I only looked in /etc/rpm because I always forget about the new directory.
It could have been more convenient to use the rpms. That's all!
IMHO, it doesn't make sense to install a one-line script, one that would also have to be sourced rather than run normally.
I mentioned a "helper script" based on the assumption that there might be more environment variables that need adjustment. ;-)
