I'm not sure what pkgdb has to do with that; it doesn't track versions.

Basically, if you didn't have a successful non-scratch koji build (and
it appears you did not), you are entirely free to go backwards.  Just
revert the last commits and push that.  Or simply leave the package
where it is and keep trying to fix the bugs.  You don't always have to
build what is currently in git.

If you had a successful build, though, things are more complicated.  And
if you created an update that went to testing, you cannot downgrade
without increasing Epoch:.
