Because that isn't the source rpm, it's the 32-bit binary rpm. You will
need the package name that ends .src.rpm

Building RPMs on CentOS is covered here:

It doesn't really matter which system the SRPM comes from, your success
at building it will depend on whether the requirements for the build
can be satisfied on your system.
