Not anytime I have seen. 

From the rpm 4.11alpha announcement: 

"There's one thing that does affect nearly every package: new warnings 
about bogus spec changelog dates. The most common cause is the day name 
not matching the given date, such as:
warning: bogus date in %changelog: Tue Jun 03 2009 Panu Matilainen 
<pmatilai at redhat.com> - 4.7.0-5

Jun 03 2009 was Wednesday, not Tuesday, hence the warning. As rpm
hasn't hasn't previously validated changelog dates make sense as a
whole, nearly every spec has one or more of these mistakes. It's just a
warning though and doesn't cause build failures."
