I can only speak for the kernel (kernel-lt & kernel-ml) build process.
Mock is used to provide a clean, controlled, chroot environment for

Install the .nosrc.rpm package into your private rpmbuild directory
structure and drop the relevant linux-4.X.Y.tar.xz file (obtained from
upstream, kernel.org) into you SOURCES/ directory.
