Well, the reason why the guideline refers to keeping timestamps
is that keeping timestamps on the installed files is recommended
because
* it shows when the files are actually created.
* it shows if the vendor or something else (like you) have
  modified the files.  

  Changing timestamps even if the content of the files are not
  modified are confusing, unless there is a special reason
  it should be done. For example, the installed file
  "./src/TeX/init.tex" are not modified since "2006-09-01" and
  there is no reason to change the timestamp of this file
  every time you upgrade or modify your spec/srpm.

It is important to show clearly as much as possible what you
changed and what you _didn't_ change each time you modify
spec file.
Keeping timestamps becomes more important when the package
contains
* many text files such as header files
* many image files
for example. In short, trying to keep timestamps is very important
IMO.
