Afaik WantedBy= is only valid in the [Install] section.

That's what enable does by by putting a symlink to local-fs.target.wants
directory. Just make something (package?) install that symlink along
with the unit file.
Note that you can put it into /lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants
instead of /etc, so it won't conflict with site-local changes.

Some macro can probably be used in rpm .spec files to enable unit on
package installation, probably via the same mechanism as "systemctl
preset" uses.

Then you need Before=local-fs.target, not After=local-fs.target.
