You need to put the openvswitch tarball (packed) in the SOURCES/,
not the unpacked sources.

This should be executed inside of openvswitch sources.

Yeah, you're in the wrong directory. The rpmbuild command should be
executed inside of the unpacked openvswitch sources.
This is the high level 2 steps:
1) Put the openvswitch tarball into rpm SOURCES/ directory:
1.a) if you got the tarball, just copy the file there.
1.b) Otherwise, you need to build the tarball, then get into the
openvswitch sources and run "./boot.sh; ./configure; make dist"
and the result is the tarball which you need to copy to the
rpm SOURCES/ directory.
2) Fire the build:
2.a) If you had the tarball, copy it somewhere else and open it.
Now get inside of openvswitch sources. There is a directory called
rhel/ with the spec file. You just need to fire the build:
ovssourcedir/ $ rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec
