Red Hat isn't imposing further restrictions. You are free to do with the source code whatever you wish, but the GPL nor any court can force Red Hat to give or sell you binaries in the future and thus source code in the future.

An example of an illegal restriction would be if Red Hat gave their binaries to everyone publicly but only their source to people who agreed to not redistribute it, and then if you did redistribute the source they cut you off or brought some type of legal action.
