I tried this and it's not looking good at the moment. The automated
tests are reporting some failures which I believe indicate versioning is
a problem.

Maybe I'm not understanding your response correctly, but I'm still
thinking I need to introduce epoch into the spec file to get dnf and
other tools to figure the versioning out.
I believe you don't. The tests do a static analysis and they are correct, but if
it was indeed impossible to ever install python3-pywbem-1.0.1-1.fc33, than you
don't have to worry about it, because in reality, it won't ever be a problem.
Just make sure to do it before Fedora 33 Final freeze, so the uninstallable but
higher version doesn't end up in the "fedora" repo forever.
