I noticed our package review process doesn't explicitly say "After you
make an update to the package, bump the 'Release' number and post a
new link each time." This is a popular convention, but it doesn't seem
to be formally documented.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process

Should this guidance be part of our instructions?

It is actually documented already:

QUOTE:
Increase the "Release" tag every time you upload a new package to avoid confusion. The reviewer and other interested parties probably still have older versions of your SRPM lying around to check what has changed between the old and new packages; those get confused when the revision didn't change.

Hm... that page hasn't  been updated since 2010.  During that time we've got new changelog GL describing how to handle spec file changes without bumping the release - this seems more than appropriate in a review  process context.

BTW, also some other stuff looks a little outdated here e. g.,  ParagNemade/CommonRpmlintErrors. and  the non-existing viewcvs link.
