You should be able to fetch the src.rpm and rebuild that one, adding the
.la files to the package.

There is a packaging policy about not including .la files, but there may
be exceptions, such as software using a libtool based runtime linker that
needs those .la files. Sometimes package reviewers and/or packagers make
mistakes. If the corresponding package spec files don't tell why these
.la files are included, opening bugzilla tickets about these would be the
thing to do.
