It's pretty easy to do this with the Koji CLI:

koji download-build --arch=x86_64 --arch=noarch (NVR)
dnf downgrade *.rpm

usually will do the trick (adjust for arch, obviously). For stable
releases, all packages that were ever made stable updates are kept
around, AIUI - they are exempt from garbage collection. For Rawhide I
think things get garbage collected after a while, but they're usually
there for several weeks first.
