You're using two different packaging systems here. The RPM spec file requires the RPMs it mentions to be installed (for Python 2), but you used pip to install them (for Python 3).
My guess is that "yum install python-six python-sphinx selinux-policy-devel unbound-devel" or its Oracle equivalent will fix the problem.
