can you clarify what you mean with "historical values/releases" here?
Would it include all currently active releases at some point in time
(i.e. everything up to F32/rawhide ATM)?

The way I see it, we should have a differently phrased requirement,
ensuring that within an upstream version of a package, the release of a
build in a higher Fedora release should be "newer" than of any previous
build (for the same version) in an older release.

I mean that we e.g. can't cater for the case where a package is built
in an older Fedora release, but no correspondent build is done in a
newer one, just as without automation: if a package has say releases
-1.fc30, -1.fc31 and -1.fc32 and then the packager only bumps to
-2.fc30 and builds in F-30, there's not much we can do about it (other
than chiding them for it ;)).
