In this patch:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pyownet/blob/rawhide/f/python-pyow...

I see:

[build-system]
   requires = ["setuptools<58.0", "wheel>=0.37.1"]

This exists upstream as well:

https://github.com/miccoli/pyownet/blob/dev/pyproject.toml#L2

I guess upstream pins setuptools to a version released years ago because of 
https://github.com/miccoli/pyownet/issues/12

But considering 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pyownet/blob/rawhide/f/python-pyow... 
you don't need to do that a you can replace that with:

[build-system]
   requires = ["setuptools"]

By another downstream patch.
