An rpm intended for a bleeding edge Fedora builds perfectly for me when I comment two macros apparently not in CentOS 7 -

%transfiletriggerin

and

%transfiletriggerun

Looks like they operate similar to %post and %postun but are different.

Is a simple way to do what they do in CentOS 7 or do I have to change the packaging logic to build in CentOS 7 and have things work properly?

These are file triggers, they trigger scripts to run when specific files are added or removed from the system when packages are (un)installed. See here:

Whilst RHEL's version of RPM doesn't support file triggers, it does support package triggers, so maybe you could devise a workaround with those:
