I fail to see why this would occur building an SRPM, the dependencies
should be identical for all packages, we're not talking about actually
building the package, just building the SRPM.

For that matter, instead of rebuilding a chroot every time, why not cache
one (tar?) so you get rid of the transaction overhead. It can still be
re-created on a regular basis in case any of the packages in the chroot get
updated, you just don't do it every time for every package.
