ok, so it sounds like SRPM is the only way to get those... I'm familiar with 
those, just didn't want to 'build" hoped for something online/system-wide I 
can share with other sysadmins as a reference, oh well (yes I know I can make 
a copy system-wide, but there's a lot of "manual" in keeping it up-to-date ;) 
... Now I have tried:

$ sudo yumdownloader --disableplugin=protectbase,cpacman_yum --source selinux-
policy-3.7.19-93.el6_1.7
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
Enabling epel-source repository
No source RPM found for selinux-policy-3.7.19-93.el6_1.7.noarch
Nothing to download

same happens when I omit the version from the request. Does anybody know 
whether there is an "easy" way of doing it other than RHN/Google/RPMFind ? ( I 
do realize it's a question for a different ML, but just in case somebody has a 
"quick" answer handy ;)
