What you might prefer to do is rather than looking in the directory that you are looking in, go one step up and try the SRPMS directory instead.... there, you will find http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora-core/updates/4/SRPMS/coreutils-5.2.1-48.1.src.rpm which contains the source code (and most likely the patches as well).
