Apart from thing, that that is more of an rpmbuild than kernel problem:
The build directory (the one under */BUILD) is every time created from
scratch (unless some options are used).
In the .spec file, you have sources - usually a tar.gz - which gets
extracted by some command in the .spec file.
And than, the patches are applied as listed with the %patch line.
You should actually see in the shell, what the .spec file is actually
doing.
