Actually not if done in conjunction with a release bump, such as we do with a mass rebuild.
Only if we make a promise to never use the same base n-v-r across the releases until whichever release we did the mass rebuild on is retired.
You are correct in that if we did a mass rebuild in dist-f13, we could move to .f##, but consider 3 days later a maintainer wants to push a new upstream release across the branches:
foo-1.2-1.fc11 foo-1.2-1.fc12 foo-1.2-1.f13
We're back in the same boat where the "fc" packages will be n-v-r higher.
Is RPM so hard to hack to work this around?

One may opt not to use the dist tag, of course.
[cdahlin@fearengine ~]$ rpmdev-vercmp foo-1.0-1.fc12 foo-1.0-1.12f 0:foo-1.0-1.12f is newer
