If they are never intended to be modified, they belong to /usr/share instead.
I think every file under %_sysconfdir should be marked either %config or
%config(noreplace). Please mark it as %config, it would keep the behaviour on
updates, but possible user's changed won't be lost forever.

If those certs should never be updated manually, then they should be moved to
/usr/share and only symlinks provided for backward compatiblity. Please choose
one of approaches, but I don't think non-backed up files belong anywhere to
/etc.

Note: guidelines make it clear they *must* be marked config files. It is not
only should, therefore I would give release+ if they are either config files or
just links to /usr dir.
