OK.  First of all, you do not need grubby to create the initramfs files.  The kernel rpm (or not kernel-core rpm) has a valid initramfs as part of the rpm.  This is what the bootloaders see if new-kernel-pgm/grubby has yet to run.

new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --dracut calls dracut to build the initramfs, the initramfs isn't in the RPM. And grubby is supposed to get called, I think from within new-kernel-pkg, to update any of the supported bootloader configuration files.
On Fedora 20 do:
     rpm -ql kernel  |   grep boot

and on rawhide/Fedora 21 do:
    rpm -ql kernel-core  |  grep boot

The rpm delivers a initramfs and then new-kernel-pkg rebuilds initramfs depending on what is really on you system.
