Part of what is going on is that having a NOARCH end result

You are implying that NOARCH packages should be built on each
architecture individually.
But NOARCH packages fit any architecture, regardless of where they are
built. Once successfully built on one architecture they should become
available for all architectures.
It's amazing that this isn't what is happening.
That's what was intended to happen when "NOARCH" was introduced, but
no-one has yet managed to rework our package build system so that NOARCH
packages can be shared across all of the repositories for all of the
different architectures we support, rather than building them repeatedly.
It's simply an optimization we haven't implemented yet.
