That is true [1] although the point generalizes to noncompliant but undetected uses of code under other licenses Fedora considers problematic (but which have attribution-like provisions). I think this is probably a fairly small risk, and not a reason not to reclassify CC0 from being fully "allowed".

[1] Although I think you can read the CC0 fallback license as not allowing such unilateral relicensing.
