nice, I've committed the patch to the trunk (NUT development version),
r3769:

beware of 1 thing: the main difference with a source install, as you did
lastly, and a native package (RPM) is the system/shutdown integration.

the init.d / systemd script will look for binaries (upsd, drivers, ...), in
the known path, not /usr/local/ups/{bin,sbin}...

so you may want to keep your original rpm and overwrite snmp-ups with the
new one.
thus, uninstall first the current install and reconfigure using the
following:

./configure --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-all --with-nss
--with-libltdl --without-hal --with-cgi --datadir=/usr/share/nut
--with-user=nut --with-group=dialout --with-statepath=/var/run/nut
--with-pidpath=/var/run/nut --with-altpidpath=/var/run/nut
--sysconfdir=/etc/ups --with-cgipath=/var/www/nut-cgi-bin
--with-drvpath=/sbin --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system
--disable-static --with-udev-dir=/lib/udev

the above is a trimmed version of the one provided by Michal Hlavinka.
but you may want or need to trim it a bit more...

cheers,
Arnaud
