I think it is a bug in cups based on red-hat forum posting:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432029

Additional info:
the permissions within the package as per spec are:
%dir %attr(0755,root,sys) /etc/cups
%dir %attr(1700,root,sys) /var/spool/cups/tmp

Those lines should probably read:

%dir %attr(0775,root,sys) /etc/cups
%dir %attr(1770,root,sys) /var/spool/cups/tmp

as cups-1.1.22rc1/scheduler/conf.c:497
  chmod(ServerRoot, 0775);
and conf.c:551:
    chmod(TempDir, 01770);
