You will need to enable the sources repos, which are disabled by default.

You will also need to know which package to download.

So, taking consolehelper for example:

$ which consolehelper
/usr/bin/consolehelper
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/consolehelper
usermode-1.85-2.2
$ yumdownloader --source \
	--enablerepo=core-source \
	--enablerepo=updates-source \
	usermode
core-source                                                          [1/2]
updates-source                                                       [2/2]
updates-source            100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00
primary.xml.gz            100% |=========================| 117 kB    00:00
updates-so: ################################################## 398/398
Added 3 new packages, deleted 5 old in 0.45 seconds
usermode-1.85-2.2.src.rpm 100% |=========================| 448 kB

I assume you know what to do with a src.rpm
