Well, this is, effectively, exactly already the case. We already have specific supported methods of upgrading: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading/ (basically, graphical upgrade for Workstation; dnf system-upgrade for everything else; both using the default stock repository configuration). The tooling that checks to see if the upgrade is possible and alert if it isn't is...well...the upgrade process. It does that.
The issue as described affected the "supported" methods of upgrading, except that (as described in the correction) it doesn't actually cause immediate issues in real-world cases because of the 'stale' tree that remains on the official repo location.
