It will be in the "source" repository.  I believe EL6 uses yum to
update, so check the files in /etc/yum.repos.d and enable the source
repo, then "yum install sysvinit-2.87-1.dsf.el6.src.rpm".

It will be either in /usr/src/redhat or the ~username/rpmbuild
tree (with "username" being the name of the user you installed it
as).
