According to my notes, synctex was updated from Github in: https://tug.org/svn/texlive?view=revision&revision=65582
So the current Subversion sources should be good.
Regarding the Fedora build configuration, the package doesn't build-depend on pkgconfig(synctex). As expected, the package is able to builds against the system version. It may just be an oversight.
