On a pre-dnf system (like RHEL6):

yum-builddep --downloadonly <packagename>

Will show/download every src rpm required to build said package
(deps).  Remove the --downloadonly to download AND do something (build?
dunno?) them.  Maybe that does it all, maybe.

If not, you could easily script a loop or maybe even just do:

rpmbuild -ba SPECS/*

from your root build dir.

That should do what you want in either 1 or maybe 2 steps (and a few
coffees).

(There must be a dnf version for modern Fedoras (and soon(?) RHEL) but
I haven't needed it...yet.)
