Ouch. I don't like assignments in conditions; this bit can be rewritten
to be more readable. It's not as if we have to write the fastest
possible code here.

Also, the spec says that the values can be enclosed in single or double
quotes; but you only check for double quotes.

It should be fairly easy to strip the escapes from the string.

I'd try the redhat_release before systemd_release; for example, googling
lists reported bugs on CentOS, where /etc/os-release says "RHEL" but
/etc/redhat-releasesays "CentOS", so the latter is more likely to be
correct.
