Search yum-pull-update in your favorite search engine for something i do for using yum as pull agent (e.g software distribution) and not only the usual pull. Sure every ten years could be problem for glibc NTPL update or similar problem in using a rpm package bundle.
Not is always possible. In fact the rpm-package-bundle try to overcame situation - rare as can be - as this. The goal is to install other rpm via rpm, in order to establish an order

a depsolver - yum, zypper, urpmi, smart ... - for installing this package.

At the point when you run the %post the files are *not* in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT but instead under root (/).
Plus you should not be running another rpm transaction within an rpm transaction - it might work (depending on the version of rpm), or it might fail with locking issues, or it might completely corrupt your rpm database.

You should do this with dependancies and a proper package management tool (ie yum etc) rather than abusing raw rpm.
