The src rpms contain source tarballs.
rpm -ivh installs the tarballs on your system. In mdk they go to
/usr/src/RPM/SOURCES. It also puts the spec file needed to rebuild the
package in /usr/src/RPM/SPECS. This allows you to change the spec file or the
source. The source rpms installed with -ivh don't count as installed packages
(you can check with rpm -qa after installing it), so i don't think updating
the package with -uvh would make much sense.
If you want rpm to rebuild the package, you don't need to install the src rpm,
just:
rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm
You can search the output lines for one that looks like 'Wrote
package.i586.rpm to /usr/...'
In mdk, the rebuilt package will go into /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i?86/.
