I've no idea how the FE4 mass rebuild was handled but mach does
topological sort on the lot for you if you just dump all src.rpm's into
it in one go.

So, you could either use mach for calculating the order or lift off the
relevant code from there for use with yum repodata. No, I'm not offering
to do that, don't have time ATM, sorry :)
