They would be, yes. both the SRPMs and the binary RPMs as well would be GPL if the upstream is GPL, which is true for a large number, probably majority of the packages. Or if the upstream is Apache, then likewise.
The sentence "With the exception of certain image files identified in Section 2 below, each software component is governed by a license located in the software component’s source code" says this. The exception mentioned is for any Red Hat trademarked images (logos, etc.). So for any SRPM that contains these images, they would have to be stripped, but the rest of the package is GPL (or whatever).
Some RHEL packages are not GPL, but all of them (AFAIK) are some kind of open-source license. But some are "weak" copyleft types or "permissive", too.
