Not to ignore the hassle factor for you, but I think that regardless
of the reason that the F-9 branch needed to be rebuilt more often than
the devel branch, this section of the guidelines covers how best to
handle such bumps in older branches:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Minor_release_bumps_for_old_branches

So you could have just bumped the F-9 branch to 0.9.20.2-1.fc9.1, .2,
etc.  Then it would still have an n-v-r less than the devel branch
does at 0.9.20.2-1.fc10.
