It is better to always write the changelog timestamp in UTC to avoid
"%changelog not in descending chronological order" build errors if the
specfile is modified at unfortunate moments in different timezones.
rpmbuild handles it in UTC as well.

If using *Emacs rpm-spec-mode, the rpm-change-log-uses-utc variable can
be set to non-nil to accomplish this (it's that way by default in emacs
>= 23.3-3).  I've just pushed a change to rpmdevtools git that makes
bumpspec use UTC too.
