That's the problem.
package foo-1.0-1.arch.rpm built on FC3 is NOT the same package as
foo-1.0-1.arch.rpm built on FC4, even if both are built from the identical
foo.spec file. Dependencies may be different, paths may be different, etc.
using %{?dist} just ensures that the release field reflects that they're
different packages
