Thanks for the report.
The %{_fmoddir} ownership issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513985
still isn't resolved due to inactivity (read: total silence) of the gcc
maintainers.
In the meantime I recommend just commenting out the Requires:
gcc-gfortran%{_isa} line.

Since 64-bit gcc is built to be able to compile in 32-bit mode, it would
be logical to make the x86_64 gfortran own the 32-bit %{_fmoddir} and
Provides: gfortran(x86-32) (and the same thing on other arches, too).
This has to be discussed with the gcc maintainers, though.
