Nope, 1>"b" in rpm version compare.
If so, we could begging numeration with 0 for pre-release:
foo-0.c -> foo-0.c.1 -> foo-0.1.b -> foo-0.1.b.1 -> foo-0.2.a -> foo-
0.2.a.1
I will write to Fedora-packaging mailing list, proposing changing
Packaging:NamingGuidelines -> Package versioning -> Pre-Release, where
we may or should use the left and the right numeration ...

No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.
