You are correct. Thanks!
I actually changed it to
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES
instead of
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}-%{version}
after replying to Mike Vanecek's message because RPM didn't clean up by
removing the name-version directory automatically. After thinking about
it, the behavior of leaving the directory makes sense, I just don't need
to have the extra directory created in the first place.
I would have been wondering why it suddenly worked had I tried it again!
