Why? The tar ball's release and the rpm's release don't have to be
connected.
I'd recommend to start with V: 2.7.0 and R: 1%{?dist}
and to increment the Release tag, when a newer pre release or a final
tarball is released and exchanged inside of the spec.
(An alternative would be to use a different %Version, but that's a
problem of its own.)
