Incorrect.
The first package is already in the build root.
Yes, but there's still a wait until it's actually available to build
against, though it's usually a wait of less than an hour rather than the
next day.
All chain build does is the waiting for you.
build A; wait until A is in the buildroot; build B
If B fails, then you can fix it and resume from B and it will work
fine.
And to manually wait until A is in the rawhide buildroot:
koji wait-repo dist-rawhide --build=A-%{version}-%{release}
e.g.
koji wait-repo dist-rawhide --build=perl-Digest-Perl-MD5-1.8-2.fc17
