The filename does not affect the contents of the RPM package.
So if you set the "version" to 1, the release to "1". And then name filename:
foo-2-300.bar.rpm
RPM is going to install the package using a version of 1 and a release of 1.
On many systems, the filename is truncated to be simply "foo.rpm" to allow for
ISO media.
(Short answer, if version or release are wrong, you need to rebuild to fix it.)
