Usually there isn't any policy around how/when specific packages are
updated in Fedora, it's up to the discretion of the maintainers. Some
people push latest versions of their packages to every stable Fedora
branch, others only rebase in rawhide, and everything in between. So I
suggest talking to your co-maintainers about how they've done things,
and go from there
There *IS* policy for how updates to rawhide and stable releases should be handled. They are available on the aptly named "Updates Policy" wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy

The main thing I'd think is to not rebase cloud-init too late into a
Fedora dev cycle, so there's plenty of time to ensure the cloud images
are in good shape (I don't know if the cloud images are ever regenerated
after Fedora GA release). But I know very little about cloud-init...
maybe it releases all the time, maybe it doesn't regress much, etc.
