No.

For installed packages use:
rpm -qi packagename
and look for the Source RPM field. For example:
bash-4.0$ rpm -qi grubby

Summary     : Command line tool for updating bootloader configs
Description :
grubby  is  a command line tool for updating and displaying information
about the configuration files for the grub, lilo, elilo (ia64),  yaboot
(powerpc)  and zipl (s390) boot loaders. It is primarily designed to be
used from scripts which install new kernels and need to  find
information about the current boot environment.

If you have an rpm for a package that isn't installed, then use:
rpm -qip pathtorpm
