You can add
-D CPACK_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME=cmake-${RPM_RELEASE}.el6.x86_64.rpm

to your packaging command. This will force package name.
Forcing the name will cause a CPack error:
CPack Error: Problem copying the package

but at that point the package was already created - you just have to
find it as it wasn't copied from rpmbuild dir to cmake root dir:

find . -name *.rpm | xargs -i{ cp { ./

That's odd... If I run the command below on rpm created from cmake
repository master branch I get different permissions:

rpm -qp --qf "[%-15{=NAME} %-36{FILENAMES} %{FILEMODES:perms}\n]"
cmake-3.3.20150607-gcb1a9-Linux-x86_64.rpm | grep "Modules "
cmake           /usr/share/cmake-3.3/Modules         drwxr-xr-x
