The links from the "Source RPM Build Instructions for RHEL5"

So they are. Thankfully these are in EPEL now so I can update the
links/instructions. Will do.
That's really all you have to do to install as well -- just configure your
system to use EPEL as a yum repo
and "yum install cobbler". There's not really a need to rebuild the
source RPMs unless you are doing development on them.
yum-utils is not found in CentOS5 EPEL, unless I am looking in the wrong place.
We do have:
yum-utils. noarch 1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2 base
in the CentOS 5.1 base distro.
There is no CentOS 5 EPEL, there is only EPEL, which works for all
derivative distributions equally.
The instructions on the website do say "RHEL 5 rebuild" instructions :)
I have been leery of the EPEL repo, since there was a time, not long ago,
when their packagers were blatantly refusing to cooperate with other
repos on compatibility issues. I hope times have changed.
I don't see a basis for that at all.
EPEL's goal is providing a common repo for packages usable by all
yum consumers. It's a fantastic service as it allows any Fedora hosted
project to also offer up RPMs
to Enterprise Linux using the same repositories.
yum-utils is in the testing repos, so perhaps you were looking in stable
-- either way, it's not needed
if you are running CentOS as that was in the base repo.
