I don't think this assessment is correct in general. If it *is* correct for some sets of packages, then they *should* have been built in the correct order before the mass rebuild. My understanding is that since https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoMoreAlpha, rawhide should always be in a "usable" state - including not pushing stuff without the necessary rebuilds, so I thought that just pushing things to rawhide and "letting the mass rebuild take care of it" was no longer really an acceptable way of dealing with things. So if you see packages that *change* (either their dependencies, or their contents - but ignoring codegen differences with new compiler versions etc.) between the last build before the mass rebuild and the build performed during the mass rebuild, that's a sign that the update was not pushed "correctly" in the first place, IMO.
