The point you  seem to be missing, your buildroot is broken:
buildroot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root

This directory is NOT unique and will break if 2 or more users are
running an rpmbuild in parallel on the same /var/tmp filesystem.

It will also break if 2 different users are running buildjobs of the
same package consecutively and if the first one fails and leaves it
buildroot behind.
