You can never expect our tooling to do "magic" (TM) and work "just right", no matter which Versions and Releases and Epochs of packages are available from third-party repos and coprs. This has nothing to do with proposed auto-generated Release tag, and it's definitely not a new problem. We've basically ignored consistency with third-party repos until now - and rightly so, IMO - because that's what "dnf distro-sync" is for. (Even upgrade path from fedora N to N+1 doesn't have to be "clean" anymore, because system-upgrade operates in "distro-sync" mode by default now ...)
