For what it's worth, you can use vagrant with the
kaorimatz/fedora-rawhide-x86_64 box.  A search on the hashicorp atlas
finds it.

In case you run something Debian-ish, mock is actually available in some
version, but doesn't get properly set up on installation (see bug
reports) and I don't know if it would work any better than mock on el6
does for a rawhide root...
