It seems weird that one release would have to wait longer than the other releases when the fix is identical for all of them. If everything's working right, you can't, by policy. You can't push an update with 0 karma stable until the 7 day wait period runs out. It's not impossible for "the same" update to behave differently on two different releases, due to differences in *other* packages. The new version may work just fine on Fedora 34 but not work on Fedora 33 because some other package isn't new enough, or something. There are cases where we can know that if it's OK on one it's almost certainly OK on the others too, but it's not really reliably possible to encode that in the policies.
