After discussing this on the packaging mailing list, it seems we don't need
any modifications of the packaging guidelines:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging%40lists.fedorapro...
After further consideration, I've also created a FESCo ticket to officially
approve this:
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1534
The ticket is not yet updated, but the request was approved:

The new test cases are already in place, we just need to change milestone:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Installation_test_matrix#Upgrade
They use our updated terminology of "current" and "previous" Fedora
release. To keep things consistent, I propose to change the current criterion [1]:
"For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to
successfully complete an upgrade from a fully updated installation of the previous stable
Fedora release with that package set installed. "
into
"For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to
successfully complete an upgrade from a fully updated installation of the current and
previous stable Fedora release with that package set installed. "
References section would get updated with a link to this thread. The criterion itself does
not mention that by upgrade we mean a direct upgrade (not one by one release). If you
think it's not clear enough, I can add some wording to the criterion (phrasing
suggestions welcome) or add another description section below it.
