No. Absolutely not.
A package with empty or missing name, version, release, arch, os, license or
summary tags is simply invalid, and rpm could and should (but apparently
doesn't) refuse to install it at all.
That package was either created by a modified rpmbuild (or perhaps more
likely), custom-written 3rd party tool.
