I had this problem when I tried to restrict
fedora-gnat-project-common, which is a noarch package, to architectures
where the gcc-gnat package exists. I found that I had to include noarch
in the list:

ExclusiveArch: noarch %{GNAT_arches}

noarch allows the build to work, and GNAT_arches is the list of
architectures to distribute the package for. I haven't tried it in EPEL
but it seems to work in Fedora 18, 19 and Rawhide.
