I'm struggling to understand how an epoch will help.

Obviously when updating the F16 version you'd update the F17 version as
well; there is no problem with F17>F16 version ordering.  But the
fundamental question is what happens to the version for the %triggerun?
You can't change it, can you?  But if you don't change it then now
upgrades from the updated F16 package to the updated F17 package don't
get systemd-sysv-convert run.
