I build a custom kernel tuned for my system from Fedora src.rpms
locally using rpmbuild (older technique without mock). I then install it
using  dnf -C  and sign it using a method similar to the above (pesign
instead of sbsign). What do you gain by having the rpms signed?
My thought is, if a person has the authority to run dnf to install
local packages on the system, secure boot is meaningless as protection.
Is it that you want the build process to sign the kernel in the rpm
package with your local keys so you don't have to go through the
process of signing the kernel after it is installed?  If that is what
you want, and you get it working, would you post the technique here.
