If your package is named A and in it spec file there is
BuildRequires N M
Requires X Y
then the build service needs the following package to build A:
N and all what in the spec file on N is as "Requires"
  and all what the "Requires" of N have as "Requires"
  and all what the "Requires" of the "Requires" of N have as "Requires"
  and so on...
M and all what in the spec file on M is as "Requires"
  and all what the "Requires" of M have as "Requires"
  and all what the "Requires" of the "Requires" of M have as "Requires"
  and so on...

After package A was built,
the build service looks for all other packages which have the
repository which contains this exact package A as build repository
(there may be several packages also named A in various repositories)
which have in their spec files
BuildRequires A
and the build service re-builds all those other packages.

After package A was built, when an end-user likes to install A
the package installation tool on the end-users system will make sure
that when A gets installed also X and Y get installed.
