Except that there is a bit of a problem, the "new" RHEL comes after the

them LOWER than that of the previous Fedora release. That just doesn't work.
you mean that RHEL isn't forked from a snapshot of a fedora release, but
instead from a mix of fedora releases? In that case, indeed, there is
nothing practical that can be done. :(
Fedora can't control when downstream vendors cut their branches. What
happens this time may not happen next time. The fact of the matter is
that RHEL and Fedora are very different products. Just like you
wouldn't try to supporting upgrading from Fedora to Ubuntu (why not?
they both have the same upstream sources at some point) you can't really
do that in this case, either.
