An easier way than extracting and patching by hand would be to do this

rpm -ihv <policy-source-rpm>.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp <SPECFILE> #build prep <bp>

Once you've done that the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD directory should contain 
directory with an extracted and patched tree based on the spec file name.
