Running rpm install/upgrade on a src.rpm file installs the spec file under 
SPECS and the source code under SOURCES.

No it doesn't. But it will get *overwritten* if you install/upgrade the src.rpm 
file again.

After you've installed the src.rpm file, and have edited the spec file to your 
liking you will build the  binary rpm from that spec file with a command that 
is different than what is used to build directly from the src.rpm file. It 
would be something like:

rpmbuild -bb --with $ARCH --target $(uname -m) 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/simscan-toaster.spec

Where $ARCH is cnt40, cmdr64, etc.
