Install it with rpm -i, and look in /usr/src/packages/{SOURCES,SPECS}
Are you sure that "rpm -i *src.rpm" won't compile and install the binaries? Thanks.

Yes, it will only copy the contents to the named directories.

Yes, to compile it, someone would write $ rpm --rebuild *src.rpm or after installing and modifications (such as adding a patch) maybe: $ rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/mypackage.spec or when there is no RPM package available, sometimes $ rpm -tb mytarball.tgz also works.
