This is not how it works.
rpmbuild re-evaluates the BuildRequires from the specfile inside the
SRPM, it does not use the SRPM's Requires. Having %{?_isa} in
BuildRequires tags is perfectly legal - and advisable to have if you
want your SRPMs to be buildable in a multiarch environment.
Sorry, my bad, you're correct. rpmbuild does re-evaluate it, perhaps yum
does not when koji tries to populate the buildroot?
