I agree this is outside of Fedora here (although the NVR is not being changed for Rawhide, which is a different matter).
I wanted to clarify: in the example above, you would have `Release: 0.186.rc6.2021...` when the Fedora versioning guidelines are used, which have a lot of detail about handling pre-releases. This NVR would be superceded by kernel-5.12.0-1.
Aside: it seems `<N>` is not being dropped to 1 after each release. For kernel-5.12.0, the first tag uses 158, continuing from kernel-5.11.0-158.
