I would be careful to replace system tar with newer version. Some system
tools could depend on specific old behavior of 1.15.
Otherwise I don't think there are some special new dependencies, what
usually works for me:
$ sudo yum-builddep tar-*.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild tar-*.src.rpm
There is also copr repository where latest git tar is (from time to time)
rebuilt (including epel5):
