Actually the above explanation is not technically correct, as the following
example proves :

[wolfy at wolfy ~]$ rpmdev-vercmp
Epoch1 :0
Version1 :1.1.1
Release1 :0.1.20090120
Epoch2 :0
Version2 :1.1.1
Release2 :0.1.20090121
0:1.1.1-0.1.20090121 is newer

or in the short format:
[wolfy at wolfy ~]$ rpmdev-vercmp  ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.20090120.fc10.src.rpm
ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.20090121.fc10.src.rpm
0:ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.20090121.fc10.src.rpm is newer


In this particular case, bumping the integer that comes before the date is just
cosmetic in order to help humans. It MUST be incremented if a new version of
the src.rpm using the _same_ source as before is created, or if the snapshot
name changes in a way that preserves the version but would somehow make yum
believe that it is older than the previous version.

For instance if upstream decides that the new name of the source would be
1.1.1-v3.tar.gz, this would lead to a hypothetical
ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.v3.fc10.src.rpm. In this case we would get:
[wolfy at wolfy ~]$ rpmdev-vercmp  ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.20090120.fc10.src.rpm
ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.v3.fc10.src.rpm
0:ultrastardx-1.1.1-0.1.20090120.fc10.src.rpm is newer
which obviously would be undesired (the newer package would appear to be older
in NEVRA terms). Therefore in this hypothetical case bumping 0.1 to 0.2 is
mandatory.
