I'm afraid that's not possible, because Fedora (even the previous version of
it!) keeps getting version updates after RHEL gets branched and RHEL doesn't
get most of them, so even the upgrade path from Fedora n-1 to a RHEL based on
Fedora n can't be guaranteed, not even at the very moment RHEL gets released,
and thus not at any point in time.
The development branch for RHEL would have to be opened up (and EPEL maintained
against it, too) for a proposal like yours to work, and I don't think Red Hat
is prepared to do that; additionally, you'd also have to hop off Fedora to
there exactly at the right point in time, because Fedora would continue getting
updates, not all of which will end up in RHEL.
I know it doesn't work that way now - hence the complaints.
Fedora could make it's next release somewhere around the point where the
paths start to diverge so people who wanted the fast-track unstable
flavor could re-install as they apparently love to do, and the rest of
us could just drift into stability.
