Additionally, where did you find rpmdevtools requiring make and which?  Grepping through the rpmdevtools sources I did not find anything supporting that finding.

It is not rpmdevtools' business to set up a minimal build environment, it just pulls in things it actually requires.  I believe nowadays the minimal build environment is set up by the buildsys-build comps group ("yum install @buildsys-build" or "yum groupinstall buildsys-build"), and a proper mock setup should have done that for you automatically.
