fedpkg could probably check this nowadays, since we track whether
retiring is allowed in package DB. Would you mind filing a RFE for this?
Improving the wiki documentation is also a good suggestion - could you
add your suggestions to the pages? I will then check whether it is
technically correct.
Created an issue:

For the wiki, I would recommend that the GIT section be changed to read
something like this:
Run fedpkg retire DESCRIPTION in all non-stable Fedora branches and EPEL
branches, if applicable. The retiring needs to start with the oldest branch
(e.g. retire on f22 before you retire on master)
