In the current situation, the build would fail in koji because you did not touch either version nor release. So koji will very quickly fail and move on. In the future, if you opt-in for auto-generated changelog and release fields, this may result in an actual build, which will make koji busy for a little while long and then it'll stay there, on its own, until it's garbage collected. The only release for which this would end up going to the user would be rawhide.
