No! You can 'normally' do it this way. I 'normally' always download
.src.rpm files and *then* build the binary rpms via
rpm -i
rpm -ba
and only *then* do I
rpm -Uvh
I know that the Maximum RPM book is somewhat out of date, but it is still
well worth the read. It's completely downloadable so you don't even have
to pay for it.
